Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2016-2490 is an Android vulnerability in the NVIDIA camera driver on Nexus 9 devices before the 2016-06-01 security update. A malicious app could gain elevated privileges on the device. Business urgency depends on whether any Nexus 9 devices remain in use and are below that patch level. Exposure appears limited to Nexus 9 devices running Android builds before the 2016-06-01 security bulletin level. Modern Android fleets are unlikely to be exposed unless legacy Nexus 9 hardware remains operational. Treat as a legacy-device hygiene issue unless Nexus 9 devices are still used. If present and unpatched, prioritize remediation because malicious apps could gain elevated device privileges. Mitigation focus: Identify any Nexus 9 devices still in service.; Update affected devices to the 2016-06-01 Android security level or later.; Remove or retire devices that cannot receive vendor security updates..
