It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8967 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Google Android. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8967/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8967/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8967","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8967/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8967","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8967","GHSA-34c2-924w-2mw6","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8967"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can bypass strict page permissions to modify the system-call table and gain elevated privileges in the Linux kernel.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"google_android","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"google"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0 allows local users to bypass the \"strict page permissions\" protection mechanism and modify the system-call table, and consequently gain privileges, by leveraging write access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8967","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"google:android","products":["google:android","linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"git-fastclone permits arbitrary shell command execution from .gitmodules","id":"CVE-2015-8968"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8966"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-12-08","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Google Pixel Improper Authorization","id":"CVE-2026-58704","kev_date_added":"2026-09-16","published":"2026-09-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Android Runtime Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2025-48543","kev_date_added":"2025-09-04","published":"2025-09-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Android Framework Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-35674","kev_date_added":"2023-09-13","published":"2023-09-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Android Framework Integer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-48595","kev_date_added":"2026-06-02","published":"2026-06-01"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Android Pixel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2024-32896","kev_date_added":"2024-06-13","published":"2024-06-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Android Framework Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-48572","kev_date_added":"2025-12-02","published":"2025-12-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Android Pixel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2024-29748","kev_date_added":"2024-04-04","published":"2024-04-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can bypass strict page permissions to modify the system-call table and gain elevated privileges in the Linux kernel.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8967/"}
