Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Android privilege-escalation issue in the Qualcomm sound driver affecting Nexus 5, Nexus 6, and Nexus 6P before the 2016-06-01 Android update. A malicious app could gain higher privileges on an affected device. Business risk is mainly legacy, unmanaged, or unsupported Android devices. Exposure is most likely where Nexus 5, 6, or 6P devices remain in use with Android patch levels earlier than 2016-06-01. Modern, supported devices are not identified as affected in the supplied sources. Prioritize if legacy Nexus devices remain in production, especially with access to corporate email, VPN, or sensitive apps. Otherwise, treat this as a legacy mobile hygiene item rather than a current enterprise-wide emergency. Mitigation focus: Update affected Nexus devices to Android security patch level 2016-06-01 or later where available.; Retire or isolate unsupported Nexus devices that cannot receive the 2016-06-01 update.; Restrict installation of untrusted applications on legacy Android devices..
