Description
In audit_free_lsm_field of auditfilter.c, there is a possible bad kfree due to a logic error in audit_data_to_entry. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-150693166References: Upstream kernel
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A logic error in audit_data_to_entry can lead to a local escalation of privilege without user interaction needed. A local attacker with special user privilege could crash the system leading to information leak. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
