AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, users should apply general security best practices such as limiting local access to trusted users and monitoring device integrity. No vendor-provided mitigation or temporary fix is currently documented.

Description

In createSessionInternal of PackageInstallerService.java, there is a possible to update a Device Policy Controller (DPC) into an invalid directory due to a path traversal error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
