Descriptions

The CyanogenMod/ClockWorkMod/Koush Superuser package 1.0.2.1 for Android 4.3 and 4.4 does not properly restrict the set of users who can execute /system/xbin/su with the --daemon option, which allows attackers to gain privileges by leveraging ADB shell access and a certain Linux UID, and then creating a Trojan horse script.

El paquete CyanogenMod/ClockWorkMod/Koush Superuser 1.0.2.1 para Android 4.3 y 4.4 no restringe debidamente el conjunto de usuarios que pueden ejecutar /system/xbin/su con la opción --daemon, lo que permite a atacantes ganar privilegios mediante el aprovechamiento de acceso shell ADB y cierto identificador de usuario de Linux, y después crear un script de caballo de troya.

The Superuser package for Android 4.3 allows a user to spawn /system/xbin/su with manipulated environment variables to execute code as root.
