NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-cross-headers package and not the kernel-cross-headers package as distributed by RHEL.

In the Android kernel in the video driver there is a kernel pointer leak due to a WARN_ON statement. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
