CVE-2016-8464
HighSummary
CVE-2016-8464 describes an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Broadcom Wi-Fi driver that allows a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This issue is rated as Moderate because it requires compromising a privileged process first.
Risk Assessment
The risk to the organization involves the potential execution of malicious code in the system's kernel, which could lead to serious security breaches. However, it requires prior compromise of a privileged process, which mitigates the risk.
Recommendation
It is recommended to monitor and update Android systems to the latest versions to minimize the risk associated with this vulnerability. Additionally, security measures should be implemented to restrict access to privileged processes.
