Remote privilege escalation via modem logic error
Published Oct 25, 2024 · Updated Oct 28, 2024
Privilege escalation in the modem of Google Pixel devices allows remote attackers to gain elevated privileges through a man-in-the-middle attack. Google identifies a logic error in the modem but keeps the associated Android bug and code change private, so the incorrect operation is undisclosed. Exploitation requires a man-in-the-middle position, needs no existing privileges or user interaction, and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
