Vulnerability from variot

An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as High because it first requires compromising a privileged process. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID: A-32402310. References: QC-CR#1092497. GoogleNexus/Pixel is a Google smartphone from the United States. Google Nexus/ Pixel products are prone to multiple privilege-escalation vulnerabilities. These issues are being tracked by Android Bug IDs A-32402310, A-32402604, A-32450647, A-32454494, A-32451171, A-32451104, A-33252788, A-32872662, A-32871330, A-32877494 and A-32879283
