CVE-2016-10486 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In Android before 2018-04-05 or earlier security patch level on Qualcomm Snapdragon Automobile and Snapdragon Mobile MDM9640, MDM9645, SD 210/SD 212/SD 205, SD 450, SD 617, SD 625, SD 650/52, SD 808, SD 810, SD 820, and SD 820A, PD failure reason string from user PD is used directly in root PD, so if the buffer parameter is non-NULL terminated in Diag F3 APIs, a buffer overread occurs.. EPSS estimates a 1.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
