CVE-2017-11093
HighSummary
In Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, and QRD Android, there is a buffer over-read vulnerability in the display module. This issue arises from a lack of upper-bound validation when reading 'num_of_cea_blocks' from an untrusted source (EDID), potentially exposing kernel memory.
Risk Assessment
Exposing kernel memory may lead to the leakage of sensitive information, posing a security threat to the system and user data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the system to the latest version that includes security patches addressing this vulnerability.
