Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-13251 is an Android media decoding flaw that can let a local attacker gain higher privileges after user interaction. It affects Android 6.0 through 8.1. The available sources do not provide CVSS scoring or confirmed exploitation evidence, so urgency should be based on Android fleet exposure and patch level. Exposure is limited to Android devices running versions 6.0, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0, or 8.1 without the relevant Android security bulletin fixes. Treat this as a patch-level and lifecycle-management issue. It is not sourced as actively exploited, but affected Android versions are old and local privilege escalation flaws can increase the impact of other compromises. Mitigation focus: Review the Android March 2018 security bulletin for vendor remediation details.; Apply Android security updates that include the CVE-2017-13251 fix.; Prioritize unsupported Android 6.x through 8.1 devices for upgrade or replacement..
