In multiple functions of MediaProvider.java, there is a possible way to bypass the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
