Local information disclosure via missing bounds check
Published Aug 7, 2023 · Updated Oct 17, 2024
Information disclosure in keyinstall on MediaTek chipsets running Android 11.0, 12.0, or 13.0 allows local users to read local data. The keyinstall component processes attacker-controlled input without checking its bounds, causing information outside the intended range to be disclosed. The attacker must already hold System execution privileges; no user interaction is required, and the flaw provides disclosure rather than privilege escalation.
