CVE-2022-20231: Pixel Update Bulletin—September 2022 | Android Open Source Project
In smc_intc_request_fiq of arm_gic.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to improper input validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-211485702References: N/A
