CVE-2017-8244 (GCVE-0-2017-8244)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-05-12 20:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 16:27
VLAI?
Summary
In core_info_read and inst_info_read in all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, variable "dbg_buf", "dbg_buf->curr" and "dbg_buf->filled_size" could be modified by different threads at the same time, but they are not protected with mutex or locks. Buffer overflow is possible on race conditions. "buffer->curr" itself could also be overwritten, which means that it may point to anywhere of kernel memory (for write).
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
