- CVEs Published In April 2016
media/libmedia/IOMX.cpp in mediaserver in Android 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 does not initialize a handle pointer, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, as demonstrated by obtaining Signature or SignatureOrSystem access, aka internal bug 26403627.
include/core/SkPostConfig.h in Skia, as used in System_server in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01, mishandles certain crashes, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, as demonstrated by obtaining Signature or SignatureOrSystem access, aka internal bug 26593930.
A Qualcomm Power Management kernel driver in Android 6.x before 2016-04-01 allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages root access, aka internal bug 26866053.
A Qualcomm video kernel driver in Android 6.x before 2016-04-01 allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages control over a service that can call this driver, aka internal bug 26291677.
A Texas Instruments (TI) haptic kernel driver in Android 6.x before 2016-04-01 allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages control over a service that can call this driver, aka internal bug 25981545.
dhcpcd before 6.10.0, as used in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 and other products, mismanages option lengths, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via a malformed DHCP response, aka internal bug 26461634.
The PORCHE_PAIRING_CONFLICT feature in Bluetooth in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 allows remote attackers to bypass intended pairing restrictions via a crafted device, aka internal bug 26551752.
Multiple integer overflows in minzip/SysUtil.c in the Recovery Procedure in Android 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 allow attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, as demonstrated by obtaining Signature or SignatureOrSystem access, aka internal bug 26960931.
Race condition in Download Manager in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 allows attackers to bypass private-storage file-access restrictions via a crafted application that changes a symlink target, as demonstrated by obtaining Signature or SignatureOrSystem access, aka internal bug 26211054.
The Telecom Component in Android 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 allows attackers to spoof the originating telephone number of a call via a crafted application, as demonstrated by obtaining Signature or SignatureOrSystem access, aka internal bug 26864502.
