CVE-2016-8399
An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.34%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged process and current compiler optimizations restrict access to the vulnerable code. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID: A-31349935.
