Description Pedro Sampaio 2019-04-04 03:13:39 UTC 
A race condition in the Linux kernel may lead to malicious code being able to free buffers using the BC_FREE_BUFFER ioctl to binder and trigger use-after-free in android/binder.c causing denial of service.

While Fedora does not enable the android drivers, this was fixed upstream in 4.20 kernels.
