CVE-2016-9567
The mDNIe system service on Samsung Mobile S7 devices with M(6.0) software does not properly restrict setmDNIeScreenCurtain API calls, enabling attackers to control a device's screen.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.94%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
