CVE-2017-8259
In the service locator in all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, a buffer overflow can occur as the variable set for determining the size of the buffer is not used to indicate the size of the buffer.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.46%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
