Descriptions
The addAccount method in src/com/android/settings/accounts/AddAccountSettings.java in the Settings application in Android before 5.0.0 does not properly create a PendingIntent, which allows attackers to use the SYSTEM uid for broadcasting an intent with arbitrary component, action, or category information via a third-party authenticator in a crafted application, aka Bug 17356824.
El método addAccount en src/com/android/settings/accounts/AddAccountSettings.java en la aplicación Settings en Android anterior a 5.0.0 no crea correctamente un PendingIntent, lo que permite a atacantes utilizar la uid SYSTEM para emitir un intento con información arbitraria de componentes, acciones o categorías a través de un autenticador tercera parte en una aplicación manipulada, también conocido como Bug 17356824.
In Android versions prior to 5.0 and possibly greater than and equal to 4.0, Settings application leaks Pendingintent with a blank base intent (neither the component nor the action is explicitly set) to third party applications. Due to this, a malicious app can use this to broadcast intent with the same permissions and identity of the Settings application, which runs as SYSTEM uid.
