Descriptions

In the FingerTipS touch screen driver, there is a possible out of bounds read due to an integer overflow. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-157156744

En el controlador de pantalla táctil FingerTipS, se presenta una posible lectura fuera de límites debido a un desbordamiento de enteros. Esto podría conllevar a una divulgación de información local con los privilegios de ejecución System necesarios. No es requerida una interacción del usuario para su explotación. Producto: Android, Versiones: kernel de Android, ID de Android: A-157156744

This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Google Android. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the fts_driver_test_write function. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before reading from memory. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel.
