app/aboot/aboot.c in the Qualcomm components in Android before 2016-07-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices does not validate the page size in the kernel header, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted boot image, aka Android internal bug 28820722 and Qualcomm internal bug CR684756.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects Qualcomm bootloader components on Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) devices before the July 5, 2016 Android security update. A malformed boot image could bypass intended access restrictions. Business impact is mainly for organizations still operating or supporting these legacy devices. Exposure appears limited to Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) devices running Android builds before 2016-07-05. The provided affected-products metadata is generic, so confirm against device inventory and vendor bulletins. Treat this as a legacy-device exposure issue. It is not supported as actively exploited by the provided sources, but affected devices are old and should not be trusted for sensitive operations if unpatched. Mitigation focus: Apply Android security updates from 2016-07-05 or later where available.; Retire or isolate unsupported Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) devices.; Check Android and Qualcomm vendor guidance for device-specific remediation details..
