JVN#67792023: Multiple improper data validation vulnerabilities in Syslink driver for Texas Instruments OMAP mobile processors

The OMAP mobile processor provided by Texas Instruments is used in some Android tablets, smartphones and other devices. The Syslink driver for some OMAP mobile processors is used to implement the communication of processes between the host and slave processors.
