In startActivityForAttachedApplicationIfNeeded of RootWindowContainer.java, there is a possible way to overlay an app that believes it's still in the foreground, when it is not, due to a race condition.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
