MEDIUM 6.7EPSS 0.14%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.14%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In the Android kernel in the synaptics_dsx_htc touchscreen driver there is a possible use after free due to improper locking. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
