No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

In multiple functions of DeviceAdminAdd.java, there is a possible way to an overlay due to a tapjacking/overlay attack. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
