Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Google Android on Qualcomm (Smartphone Operating System) (version unknown) and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown function of the component EXIF Parser. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
