An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the NVIDIA GPU driver could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as Critical due to the possibility of a local permanent device compromise, which may require reflashing the operating system to repair the device. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10. Android ID: A-32401526. References: N-CVE-2017-0428.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-0428 is a critical Android NVIDIA GPU driver privilege escalation. A malicious local app could run code in the kernel, potentially causing persistent device compromise that may require reflashing the operating system. Exposure is most likely on older Android devices using Kernel-3.10 and the affected NVIDIA GPU driver. The sources do not name specific device models or OEM builds. Prioritize affected legacy Android devices with sensitive access. The business risk is device-level compromise from a local malicious app, but public evidence here does not show active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Review the Android February 2017 security bulletin for CVE-2017-0428 guidance.; Review NVIDIA advisory a_id/4561 for vendor-specific remediation details.; Apply OEM or vendor Android security updates that include this CVE..
