CVE-2017-0520
An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Qualcomm crypto engine driver 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 (1.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
