CVE-2019-14220
Bug is in a local arbitrary file read through a system service call.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.91%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in BlueStacks 4.110 and below on macOS and on 4.120 and below on Windows. BlueStacks employs Android running in a virtual machine (VM) to enable Android apps to run on Windows or MacOS. Bug is in a local arbitrary file read through a system service call. The impacted method runs with System admin privilege and if given the file name as parameter returns you the content of file. A malicious app using the affected method can then read the content of any system file which it is not authorized to read
