MEDIUM 4.0EPSS 0.07%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.07%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In fixInitiatingUserIfNecessary of CallIntentProcessor.java, there is a possible way to make an emergency call due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
