CVE-2021-0350

Local system crash via ged input validation

Published Feb 4, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Improper input validation in Android 8.1, 9, 10, and 11 allows local users with system execution privileges to crash the system. The ged component performs an unspecified improper validation of attacker-controlled input, and public records do not disclose the exact parameter or failing operation. Exploitation requires local access with system execution privileges and no user interaction; the stated consequence is denial of service through a system crash.
