Description

In updateState of ContentProtectionTogglePreferenceController.java, there is a possible way for a secondary user to disable the primary user's deceptive app scanning setting 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.
