Multiple integer overflows in app/aboot/aboot.c in the Qualcomm components in Android before 2016-07-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted image, aka Android internal bug 28842418 and Qualcomm internal bug CR813930.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a bootloader-level Android flaw in Qualcomm components affecting Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) devices before the July 5, 2016 Android security update. A crafted image could bypass intended access restrictions. Business urgency depends on whether legacy, unpatched devices remain in use. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) devices that never received the July 2016 Android security update or equivalent vendor bootloader fix. Treat this as a legacy-device hygiene issue, not a current broad Android emergency based on the supplied evidence. Prioritize confirmation and retirement of affected devices if they still handle business data. Mitigation focus: Identify Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) devices in inventory.; Verify Android security patch level is July 5, 2016 or later.; Apply vendor-supported Android or firmware updates where available..
