Unauthenticated privilege escalation via undisclosed SoC flaw
Published Sep 13, 2022 · Updated Jun 5, 2025
Elevation of privilege in a Unisoc Android SoC component allows remote attackers to gain elevated privileges via unspecified vectors. The Android bulletin does not publish the affected code locus or the incorrect operation performed on attacker-controlled input. The published assessment requires neither authentication nor user interaction, but the accessible vendor material does not define the resulting privilege level or affected device models.
