CVE-2017-14892
In the function msm_pcm_hw_params() in Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, and QRD Android before 2017-09-19, the return value of q6asm_open_shared_io() is not checked properly potentially leading to a possible dangling pointer access.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.15%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
