Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2016-2441 is an Android privilege-escalation flaw in the Qualcomm buspm driver. Public records identify Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, and Nexus 6P devices running Android before the 2016-05-01 security update as affected. A malicious app could gain elevated privileges. Exposure is mainly relevant where these older devices remain in use. Organizations are likely exposed only if Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, or Nexus 6P devices remain active without the 2016-05-01 Android security patch level or later. The provided sources do not establish exposure for other devices. Treat as a targeted cleanup item for legacy Android assets. It is not supported as actively exploited in the provided sources, but affected devices could allow malicious apps to gain elevated privileges. Mitigation focus: Identify any Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, or Nexus 6P devices in inventory.; Verify Android security patch level is 2016-05-01 or later.; Remove or isolate devices that cannot receive the required Android security update..
