CVE-2017-0627

Published: 12 May 2017

An information disclosure vulnerability in the kernel UVC driver could enable a local malicious application to access data outside of its permission levels. This issue is rated as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged process. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID: A-33300353.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Xingyuan Lin discovered that a out-of-bounds read existed in the USB Video Class (UVC) driver of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
