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-2016-5856 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-2016-5856/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5856/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5856","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5856/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5856","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jp4h-829h-5qxc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Android kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a flaw in the Qualcomm SPCom driver to gain elevated privileges on Android devices.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"google"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Drivers/soc/qcom/spcom.c in the Qualcomm SPCom driver in the Android kernel 2017-03-05 allows local users to gain privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-5857.","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-2016-5856","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"google:android","products":["google:android","linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5857"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in All Qualcomm products","id":"CVE-2016-5855"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-12","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 exploit a flaw in the Qualcomm SPCom driver to gain elevated privileges on Android devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5856/"}
