What it is about

Das Android Betriebssystem von Google ist eine quelloffene Plattform für mobile Geräte. Die Basis bildet der Linux-Kernel. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Google Android und Pixel/Nexus ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode mit erhöhten Rechten auszuführen, um seine Privilegien zu erhöhen, um Informationen offenzulegen oder um einen Denial of Service Zustand herbeizuführen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Programmcode mit erhöhten Rechten auszuführen
  • seine Privilegien zu erhöhen
  • Informationen offenzulegen oder um einen Denial of Service Zustand herbeizuführen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Google Android 6.0
  • Google Android 6.0.1
  • Oracle Linux
  • Google Android 7.0
  • Google Android 7.1.1
  • Google Android 7.1.2
  • Google Android 8.0
  • Google Android 8.1

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Install the updates provided by the vendor; details in the sources below.

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
