CVE-2014-9971
In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, disabling asserts causes an instruction inside of an assert to not be executed resulting in incorrect control flow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.03%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
