Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects old Nexus 7 (2013) devices using Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver code before the August 5, 2016 Android security update. A nearby attacker could send crafted Wi-Fi frames that hang or reboot the device. The record does not describe data theft or code execution. Exposure appears limited to legacy Nexus 7 (2013) devices running Android security patch levels before 2016-08-05. Organizations are most likely exposed through unmanaged lab, kiosk, testing, or retained legacy tablets still connecting to Wi-Fi. Treat this as a legacy-device cleanup issue, not an enterprise-wide emergency. Prioritize if affected tablets support operations, kiosks, testing environments, or trusted Wi-Fi access. Unsupported devices should be retired or isolated. Mitigation focus: Identify any Nexus 7 (2013) devices still in inventory.; Update affected devices to the 2016-08-05 Android security level or later.; Retire or isolate devices that cannot receive vendor updates..
