A buffer overflow vulnerability in all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel can potentially occur if an OEM performs an app region size customization due to a hard-coded value.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
