Descriptions

An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged process and current compiler optimizations restrict access to the vulnerable code. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID: A-31349935.

Una vulnerabilidad de elevación de privilegios en el subsistema de red del kernel podría permitir a una aplicación local maliciosa ejecutar código arbitrario dentro del contexto del kernel. Este problema está calificado como Moderate porque primero requiere comprometer un proceso privilegiado y las optimizaciones de compilador actuales restringen el acceso al código vulnerable. Producto: Android. Versiones: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID: A-31349935.

A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem where a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities could cause an out-of-bounds memory access by creating a smaller-than-expected ICMP header and sending to its destination via sendto().
