Local privilege escalation via integer-overflow out-of-bounds write
Published Feb 2, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Integer overflow in kisd in Android 11 allows local users with System execution privileges to gain elevated privileges without interaction. A numeric calculation in kisd can overflow and cause an out-of-bounds write, but the vendor has not disclosed the input field or affected function. Exploitation requires local access and System execution privileges; the write can corrupt process memory and needs no user interaction.
