CVE-2017-15855
Last modified
CVE-2017-15855 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In Qualcomm Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, and QRD Android with all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel before security patch level 2018-04-05, the camera application triggers "user-memory-access" issue as the Camera CPP module Linux driver directly accesses the application provided buffer, which resides in user space. An unchecked userspace value (ioctl_ptr->len) is used to copy contents to a kernel buffer which can lead to kernel buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 0.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
