Local information disclosure via unchecked RIL input
Published Mar 7, 2023 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Improper input validation in MediaTek RIL on Android 12.0 and 13.0 allows local users with System privileges to disclose information. The RIL component reads past a buffer boundary because it processes input without a required bounds check. Exploitation requires System execution privileges but no user interaction, and the exposed data's nature is undisclosed.
