An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-3851 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-2016-3851/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3851/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-3851","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3851/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-3851","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vcqc-cp5x-74cr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Android bootloader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain elevated privileges on Nexus 5X devices by exploiting a vulnerability in the LG Electronics bootloader.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"google_android","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The LG Electronics bootloader Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5X devices allows attackers to gain privileges by leveraging access to a privileged process, aka internal bug 29189941.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3851","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"google:android","products":["google:android"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3852"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3850"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-08-05","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":"Attackers can gain elevated privileges on Nexus 5X devices by exploiting a vulnerability in the LG Electronics bootloader.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3851/"}
