Until a fix is available, restricting local access to trusted users and minimizing exposure to untrusted applications may reduce risk.

Description

In enableSystemPackageLPw of Settings.java, there is a possible way to prevent location access from working due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
