CVE-2016-2059: Google Android

High severity, CVSS 7.0. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The msm_ipc_router_bind_control_port function in net/ipc_router/ipc_router_core.c in the IPC router kernel module for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, does not verify that a port is a client port, which allows attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (race condition and list corruption) by making many BIND_CONTROL_PORT ioctl calls.

Affected products

• Google Android: up to and including 7.0
• Linux Linux Kernel: from 3.0, up to and including 3.19.8
