CVE-2015-6646
Published: 6 January 2016
The System V IPC implementation in the kernel in Android before 6.0 2016-01-01 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (global kernel resource consumption) by leveraging improper interaction between IPC resource allocation and the memory manager, aka internal bug 22300191, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7613.
