Process-expiration bypass via missing check logic
Published Sep 4, 2024 · Updated Sep 4, 2024
Improper access control in Samsung BGProtectManager on Android 12 through 14 allows local users to bypass process expiration restrictions. Samsung states that BGProtectManager lacks proper check logic when enforcing process expiration, but does not disclose the affected function or input. Low-privileged local access is required, and the documented consequence is limited to bypassing process expiration rather than reading data or gaining elevated privileges.
