CVE-2014-9895: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2014-9895: drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus...

drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug 28750150 and Qualcomm internal bug CR570757, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-1739.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious local app could read sensitive information from affected Android devices because Linux media-device kernel structures were not properly initialized. The public record specifically ties this to Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) before the August 5, 2016 Android patch level. Exposure appears limited to legacy Android deployments, specifically Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) devices before 2016-08-05, and potentially Linux-derived kernels missing the referenced media-device initialization fix. Treat this as a legacy-device hygiene issue unless affected devices still exist. It does not indicate remote compromise, but unsupported mobile endpoints can accumulate unpatched local data-exposure flaws. Mitigation focus: Update affected Android devices to the August 5, 2016 patch level or later.; Confirm downstream kernels include the referenced Linux media-device initialization fix.; Check Qualcomm/MSM vendor kernel guidance for devices based on affected downstream trees..
