Kernel-memory disclosure via corrupted F2FS attributes
Published Apr 17, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Out-of-bounds read in the Android kernel allows local users with System privileges to disclose kernel memory through corrupted F2FS attributes. The f2fs_listxattr path trusts a corrupted extended-attribute name length and copies name data without confirming that the entry remains inside the attribute area. Exploitation requires local System privileges and corrupted F2FS attribute metadata; no user interaction is required, and the reported impact is disclosure only.
