- CVEs Published In October 2016
CORE/HDD/src/wlan_hdd_hostapd.c in the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver in Android before 2016-10-05 on Nexus 5X and Android One devices allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application that makes a setwpaie ioctl call, aka Android internal bug 29915601 and Qualcomm internal bug CR 1000913.
The Motorola USBNet driver in Android before 2016-10-05 on Nexus 6 devices allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka internal bug 29914434.
The NVIDIA GPU driver in Android before 2016-10-05 on Nexus 9 devices allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka internal bug 30259955.
Off-by-one error in CORE/HDD/src/wlan_hdd_cfg.c in the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver in Android before 2016-10-05 on Nexus 5X and Android One devices allows attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) via a crafted application that makes a GET_CFG ioctl call, aka Android internal bug 30874066 and Qualcomm internal bug CR 1000853.
Off-by-one error in CORE/HDD/src/wlan_hdd_hostapd.c in the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver in Android before 2016-10-05 on Nexus 5X and Android One devices allows attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) via a crafted application that makes a linkspeed ioctl call, aka Android internal bug 30873776 and Qualcomm internal bug CR 1000861.
system_server in Android before 2016-10-05 on Nexus devices allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka internal bug 30445380.
The NVIDIA camera driver in Android before 2016-10-05 on Nexus 9 devices allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka internal bug 30204201.
The Synaptics touchscreen driver in Android before 2016-10-05 on Nexus 5X devices allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka internal bug 30537088.
The GPS component in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, 6.x before 2016-10-01, and 7.0 before 2016-10-01 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption, and device hang or reboot) via a large xtra.bin or xtra2.bin file on a spoofed Qualcomm gpsonextra.net or izatcloud.net host, aka internal bug 29555864.
drivers/soc/qcom/qdsp6v2/voice_svc.c in the QDSP6v2 Voice Service driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a write request, as demonstrated by a voice_svc_send_req buffer overflow.
