CVE-2016-6708
An elevation of privilege in the System UI in Android 7.0 before 2016-11-01 could enable a local malicious user to bypass the security prompt of your work profile in Multi-Window mode.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.15%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
