Technical Analysis

This vulnerability involves a heap buffer overflow in the gf_base_update_finger_base function of the gf_base.c source file in Google Android. The flaw allows an out-of-bounds write, which can be exploited locally to escalate privileges without needing extra execution rights or user interaction.
