CVE-2016-2475: The Broadcom Wi-Fi driver in Android before 2016-06-01 on Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an Android privilege issue in the Broadcom Wi-Fi driver on specific older Nexus-family devices. A malicious app could gain privileges for certain system calls. Business urgency depends on whether those legacy devices still exist in your fleet. Exposure appears limited to the named Nexus and Pixel C devices running Android builds before the 2016-06-01 security level. Modern managed Android fleets are unlikely to be affected unless legacy, lab, kiosk, or unmanaged devices remain in service. Treat this as a legacy-device hygiene issue. Prioritize only if affected Nexus-era devices remain connected to corporate networks, handle sensitive data, or can install untrusted apps. Mitigation focus: Identify listed Nexus and Pixel C devices still in use.; Update affected devices to Android security level 2016-06-01 or later, where available.; Retire or isolate devices that cannot receive the June 2016 Android security update..
