Local privilege escalation via confirmationui heap overflow
Published Jun 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Heap buffer overflow in confirmationui on Google Android Pixel devices allows local users to gain elevated privileges. The handle_msg function in main.cpp can write beyond a heap buffer while processing a message. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access, needs no user interaction, and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
