The vid_dec_set_h264_mv_buffers function in drivers/video/msm/vidc/common/dec/vdec.c in the Qualcomm components in Android before 2016-07-05 does not validate the number of buffers, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug 28598515 and Qualcomm internal bug CR563694.
