Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Google Android (Smartphone Operating System) (affected version unknown). It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects the function PVRSRVBridgeChangeSparseMem of the component PowerVR Kernel Driver. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In PVRSRVBridgeChangeSparseMem of the PowerVR kernel driver, a missing size check means there is a possible integer overflow that could allow out-of-bounds heap access. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android SoCAndroid ID: A-270400061
