    Summary:

    Details: In onCreate of BluetoothPermissionActivity.java, there is a possible permissions bypass due to a tapjacking overlay that obscures the phonebook permissions dialog when a Bluetooth device is connecting. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
