     29 <p>We have released a security update to Nexus devices through an over-the-air
     30 (OTA) update as part of our Android Security Bulletin Monthly Release process.
     31 The Nexus firmware images have also been released to the
     32 <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images">Google Developer site</a>.
     33 Builds LMY49H or later and Android M with Security Patch Level of March 01, 2016 or later
     34 address these issues. Refer to the
     35 <a href="https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705">Nexus documentation</a>
     36 for instructions on how to check the security patch level.</p>
     37 
     38 <p>Partners were notified about the issues described in the bulletin on February
     39 1, 2016 or earlier. Where applicable, source code patches for these issues have been
     40 released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository.</p>
     41 
     42 <p>The most severe of these issues is a Critical security vulnerability that could
     43 enable remote code execution on an affected device through multiple methods
     44 such as email, web browsing, and MMS when processing media files.</p>
     45 
     46 <p>We have had no reports of active customer exploitation of these newly reported
     47 issues. Refer to the <a href="#mitigations">Mitigations</a> section for details on the
     48 <a href="{@docRoot}security/enhancements/index.html">Android security platform protections</a>
     49 and service protections such as SafetyNet, which improve the security of the
     50 Android platform. We encourage all customers to accept these updates to their
     51 devices.</p>

     53 <h2 id=security_vulnerability_summary>Security Vulnerability Summary</h2>
     54 
     55 <p>The table below contains a list of security vulnerabilities, the Common
     56 Vulnerability and Exposures ID (CVE), and their assessed severity. The
     57 <a href="{@docRoot}security/overview/updates-resources.html#severity">severity assessment</a>
     58 is based on the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would possibly have
     59 on an affected device, assuming the platform and service mitigations are
     60 disabled for development purposes or if successfully bypassed.</p>

    157 <p>This is a summary of the mitigations provided by the
    158 <a href="{@docRoot}security/enhancements/index.html">Android security platform</a>
    159 and service protections such as SafetyNet. These capabilities reduce the
    160 likelihood that security vulnerabilities could be successfully exploited on
    161 Android.</p>
    162 
    163 <ul>
    164   <li> Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements
    165 in newer versions of the Android platform. We encourage all users to update to
    166 the latest version of Android where possible.
    167   <li> The Android Security team is actively monitoring for abuse with Verify Apps and
    168 SafetyNet which will warn about potentially harmful applications about to be
    169 installed. Device rooting tools are prohibited within Google Play. To protect
    170 users who install applications from outside of Google Play, Verify Apps is
    171 enabled by default and will warn users about known rooting applications. Verify
    172 Apps attempts to identify and block installation of known malicious
    173 applications that exploit a privilege escalation vulnerability. If such an
    174 application has already been installed, Verify Apps will notify the user and
    175 attempt to remove any such applications.
    176   <li> As appropriate, Google Hangouts and Messenger applications do not automatically
    177 pass media to processes such as mediaserver.

    200 <h2 id=security_vulnerability_details>Security Vulnerability Details</h2>
    201 
    202 
    203 <p>In the sections below, we provide details for each of the security
    204 vulnerabilities listed in the <a href="#security_vulnerability_summary">Security Vulnerability Summary</a> above. There is a description of the issue, a severity rationale, and a table
    205 with the CVE, associated bug, severity, affected versions, and date reported.
    206 When available, we will link the AOSP change that addressed the issue to the
    207 bug ID. When multiple changes relate to a single bug, additional AOSP
    208 references are linked to numbers following the bug ID.</p>

    211 
    212 
    213 <p>During media file and data processing of a specially crafted file,
    214 vulnerabilities in mediaserver could allow an attacker to cause memory
    215 corruption and remote code execution as the mediaserver process.</p>
    216 
    217 <p>The affected functionality is provided as a core part of the operating system,
    218 and there are multiple applications that allow it to be reached with remote
    219 content, most notably MMS and browser playback of media.</p>
    220 
    221 <p>This issue is rated as a Critical severity due to the possibility of remote
    222 code execution within the context of the mediaserver service. The mediaserver
    223 service has access to audio and video streams as well as access to privileges
    224 that third-party apps could not normally access.</p>

    373 
    374 <p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Kernel Keyring Component could
    375 enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the
