If you cannot patch yet, restrict installation of untrusted local applications and limit physical or local access to the device to reduce risk.
Description
An improper authentication vulnerability was discovered in the Motorola Factory Test component (com.motorola.motocit). The application contained a reference to a writable file descriptor in external storage which could be used by third party apps running on the device to open a TCP server, exposing sensitive permissions and data. This could allow a local attacker to bypass permission checks and access protected device settings.
