CVE-2022-20076

Local information disclosure via incorrect error handling

Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Memory corruption in MediaTek ged on Android 10.0, 11.0, and 12.0 allows local users with System privileges to disclose information. The ged component mishandles an exceptional error condition and corrupts memory, but MediaTek has not disclosed the affected routine or how corrupted memory exposes data. Exploitation requires System execution privileges, needs no user interaction, and is limited to reading information rather than changing data or disrupting service.
