CVE-2016-6527
The SmartCall Activity component in Telecom application on Samsung Note device L(5.0/5.1) and M(6.0) allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reboot) or possibly gain privileges via a malformed serializable object.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.50%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
