Buffer overflow in drivers/soc/qcom/subsystem_restart.c in the Qualcomm subsystem driver in Android before 2016-09-05 on Nexus 5X and 6P devices allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that provides a long string, aka Android internal bug 28675151 and Qualcomm internal bug CR1022641.
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.
