In Android before 2018-04-05 or earlier security patch level on Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile and Snapdragon Wear IPQ4019, MDM9206, MDM9607, MDM9625, MDM9635M, MSM8909W, SD 210/SD 212/SD 205, SD 400, SD 410/12, SD 600, SD 615/16/SD 415, SD 617, SD 650/52, SD 800, SD 808, and SD 810, in widevine_dash_cmd_handler(), rsp buffers are passed off to widevine commands. These rsp buffers have values in them, such as buffer lengths, that need to be validated to ensure that no buffer overflow/over-reads happen. However, rsp buffers are not always in locked memory, meaning a time-of-check, time-of-use issue can occur where we check that the value is valid, but then a race condition occurs where this memory is swapped out with a different, possibly out of range, value.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-9157 affects older Android devices with listed Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile and Wear chipsets. A race condition in Widevine-related command handling can let checked buffer values change before use, creating possible buffer overflow or over-read conditions. Business urgency depends on whether legacy Android devices remain below the 2018-04-05 patch level. Exposure is most likely in legacy Android phones, tablets, embedded devices, or wearables using the listed Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and running Android security patch levels before 2018-04-05. Medium operational priority if legacy Android or wearable devices remain in service. The issue is old and not KEV-listed in the provided data, but unpatched devices may still carry memory-safety risk in Qualcomm Widevine handling. Mitigation focus: Update affected Android devices to the 2018-04-05 security patch level or later.; Check OEM and Qualcomm guidance for device-specific firmware availability.; Retire or isolate affected devices that cannot receive vendor security updates..
