Elevation of privilege via undisclosed SoC flaw
Published Sep 13, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Elevation of privilege in Android SoC devices before the 2022-09-05 patch level allows attackers to gain elevated privileges via unspecified vectors. The issue is assigned to a UNISOC Android component, but Google and UNISOC have not publicly disclosed the affected locus or the operation performed on untrusted input. The required access and resulting privilege level remain undisclosed, so exposure can be distinguished only by the device security patch level.
