In endCallForSubscriber of PhoneInterfaceManager.java, there is a possible way to prevent access to emergency services due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to a local denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
A logical error in the endCallForSubscriber method code causes improper termination of subscriber calls. Exploiting the vulnerability does not require any additional execution privileges or user interaction. As a result of the error, it is possible to bring the device into a state where it loses the ability to make calls to emergency numbers.
An attacker can locally block access to emergency services on the victim's device, which in life-threatening situations may prevent calling for help. This is a local denial of service (local DoS) affecting critical system functionality.
