Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

Because the READ_LOGS permission is mishandled, sensitive information is disclosed in a world-readable copy of the log file if the error message is "Unhandled exception in Dalvik VM," "Application not responding ANR event," or "Crash on an application's native code."
