Descriptions

Directory traversal vulnerability in the SwiftKey language-pack update implementation on Samsung Galaxy S4, S4 Mini, S5, and S6 devices allows remote web servers to write to arbitrary files, and consequently execute arbitrary code in a privileged context, by leveraging control of the skslm.swiftkey.net domain name and providing a .. (dot dot) in an entry in a ZIP archive, as demonstrated by a traversal to the /data/dalvik-cache directory.

Vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio en la implementación de la actualización del paquete de lenguas SwiftKey en los dispositivos Samsung Galaxy S4, S4 Mini, S5, y S6 permite servidores web remotos escribir en ficheros arbitrarios, y como consecuencia ejecutar código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado, mediante el aprovechamiento del control del nombre de dominio skslm.swiftkey.net y la provisión de un .. (punto punto) en una entrada en un archivo ZIP, tal y como fue demostrado por un salto en el directorio /data/dalvik-cache.
