Description
The AppWidgetServiceImpl implementation in com/android/server/appwidget/AppWidgetServiceImpl.java in the Settings application in Android before 5.1.1 LMY48I allows attackers to obtain a URI permission via an application that sends an Intent with a (1) FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION or (2) FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION flag, as demonstrated by bypassing intended restrictions on reading contacts, aka internal bug 19618745.
