CVE-2014-9871: Multiple buffer overflows in drivers/media/platform/msm/camera_v2/isp/msm_isp_util.c in the Qualcomm compon...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local privilege-escalation issue in Qualcomm camera components used by Android on Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) before the 2016-08-05 security level. A malicious app could trigger buffer overflows and gain higher privileges on the device. Confirmed exposure is limited by the sources to Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) devices running Android before 2016-08-05. Other Qualcomm-derived Android kernels should be assessed against vendor guidance, but are not confirmed here. Prioritize remediation for any remaining legacy Nexus devices in business use. The business risk is mainly from compromised local apps gaining elevated privileges on outdated devices. Mitigation focus: Apply Android security patch level 2016-08-05 or later where available.; Check device or OEM guidance for the Qualcomm camera ISP fix.; Retire unsupported Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 (2013) devices..
