Industry Coordination
Security ratings of issues included in Android security bulletins and these bulletins match in the most common scenarios but may differ in some cases due to one of the following reasons:
- Consideration of security protections such as SELinux not enforced on some platforms
- Differences in assessment of some specific scenarios that involves local denial of service or privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the high level OS kernel
