Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In update of MmsProvider.java, there is a possible way to change directory permissions due to a path traversal error. This could lead to local denial of service of SIM recognition with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
