CVE-2016-2414 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Minikin library in Android 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 does not properly consider negative size values in font data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and reboot loop) via a crafted font, aka internal bug 26413177.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
