CVE-2018-3572
While processing a DSP buffer in an audio driver's event handler, an index of a buffer is not checked before accessing the buffer in all Android releases from CAF (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) using the Linux Kernel.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
