Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2016-2442 affects the Qualcomm buspm driver in Android on Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, and Nexus 6P devices before the 2016-05-01 security update. A malicious app could gain elevated privileges. This is mainly a legacy mobile-device risk for organizations still using or retaining these devices. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, and Nexus 6P devices running Android security patch levels earlier than 2016-05-01. Prioritize if legacy Nexus devices remain in corporate use or access sensitive data. For most organizations, urgency is low unless these devices are still active. Mitigation focus: Update affected devices to Android security patch level 2016-05-01 or later.; Check Android and device vendor guidance for applicable update availability.; Remove unsupported affected devices from sensitive business use..
