The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the run_posix_cpu_timers() function in kernel/time/posix-cpu-timers.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild against Android devices.

Install update from vendor's repository.
