CVE-2019-2123
In execTransact of Binder.java in Android 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0, 8.1, and 9, there is a possible local execution of arbitrary code in a privileged process due to a memory overwrite.
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.
