CVE-2014-9895

MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.72%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.72%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug 28750150 and Qualcomm internal bug CR570757, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-1739.
