CVE-2015-8889
The aboot implementation in the Qualcomm components in Android before 2016-07-05 on Nexus 6P devices omits the recovery PIN feature, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors, aka Android internal bug 28822677 and Qualcomm internal bug CR804067.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.55%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
