Local privilege escalation via missing permission check
Published Oct 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Missing authorization in the UNISOC Telephony system service in Android SoC allows local users to elevate privileges through a service call. The affected service performs a privileged operation without checking the caller's permission; the precise service and operation remain undisclosed. Low-privilege local access is required, and successful exploitation grants elevated privileges on an affected Android device.
