Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Google Android (Smartphone Operating System) (version now known). This affects some unknown processing of the component Linux Kernel. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android, with all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, in a WiFI driver function, an integer overflow leading to heap buffer overflow may potentially occur.

The bug was discovered 12/04/2017. The weakness was published 12/05/2017 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at source.android.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2017-11043 since 07/07/2017. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 12/21/2019).
