CVE-2016-6714
A remote denial of service vulnerability in Mediaserver in Android 6.x before 2016-11-01 and 7.0 before 2016-11-01 could enable an attacker to use a specially crafted file to cause a device hang or reboot.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
