I was wondering if there is a possibility to exploit the CVE-2016-5195 vulnerability on Android?

Since Android runs on linux kernel, I would expect the answer to be yes. Yet, I was not able to find any mentions online.

EDIT: This question was marked as duplicate, however, I would like to keep it, so that it is focused on the impact on Android, rather than general impact of the vulnerability.

  • If you have a more specific question(s) about Dirty COW on Android you could ask that, but as it stands now this question is completely covered by the duplicate in my opinion.
