CVE-2015-4641

MEDIUM 6.4EPSS 3.68%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.68%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Directory traversal vulnerability in the SwiftKey language-pack update implementation on Samsung Galaxy S4, S4 Mini, S5, and S6 devices allows remote web servers to write to arbitrary files, and consequently execute arbitrary code in a privileged context, by leveraging control of the skslm.swiftkey.net domain name and providing a .. (dot dot) in an entry in a ZIP archive, as demonstrated by a traversal to the /data/dalvik-cache directory.
