Google » Android : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score >= 7

WebKit in Apple Safari 4.x before 4.1.2 and 5.x before 5.0.2; Android before 2.2; and webkitgtk before 1.2.6; does not properly validate floating-point data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted HTML document, related to non-standard NaN representation.

Android before 2.3 does not properly restrict access to the system property space, which allows local applications to bypass the application sandbox and gain privileges, as demonstrated by psneuter and KillingInTheNameOf, related to the use of Android shared memory (ashmem) and ASHMEM_SET_PROT_MASK.

The PowerVR SGX driver in Android before 2.3.6 allows attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via an application that uses a crafted length parameter in a request to the pvrsrvkm device.

The vold volume manager daemon on Android 3.0 and 2.x before 2.3.4 trusts messages that are received from a PF_NETLINK socket, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code and gain root privileges via a negative index that bypasses a maximum-only signed integer check in the DirectVolume::handlePartitionAdded method, which triggers memory corruption, as demonstrated by Gingerbreak.

Android Picasa in Android 3.0 and 2.x through 2.3.4 uses a cleartext HTTP session when transmitting the authToken obtained from ClientLogin, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges and access private pictures and web albums by sniffing the token from connections with picasaweb.google.com.

Stack-based buffer overflow in libsysutils in Android 2.2.x through 2.2.2 and 2.3.x through 2.3.6 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an application that calls the FrameworkListener::dispatchCommand method with the wrong number of arguments, as demonstrated by zergRush to trigger a use-after-free error.

Android SQLite Journal before 4.0.1 has an information disclosure vulnerability.

The Zygote process in Android 4.0.3 and earlier accepts fork requests from processes with arbitrary UIDs, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reboot loop) via a crafted application.

The LG Hidden Menu component for Android on the LG Optimus G E973 allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands by entering USB Debugging mode, using Android Debug Bridge (adb) to establish a USB connection, dialing 3845#*973#, modifying the WLAN Test Wi-Fi Ping Test/User Command tcpdump command string, and pressing the CANCEL button.

Android 3.0 through 4.1.x on Disney Mobile, eAccess, KDDI, NTT DOCOMO, SoftBank, and other devices does not properly implement the WebView class, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary methods of Java objects or cause a denial of service (reboot) via a crafted web page, as demonstrated by use of the WebView.addJavascriptInterface method, a related issue to CVE-2012-6636.

Android 1.6 Donut through 4.2 Jelly Bean does not properly check cryptographic signatures for applications, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via an application package file (APK) that is modified in a way that does not violate the cryptographic signature, probably involving multiple entries in a Zip file with the same name in which one entry is validated but the other entry is installed, aka Android security bug 8219321 and the "Master Key" vulnerability.

Android 4.0 through 4.3 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and remove device locks via a crafted application that invokes the updateUnlockMethodAndFinish method in the com.android.settings.ChooseLockGeneric class with the PASSWORD_QUALITY_UNSPECIFIED option.

The NotificationBroadcastReceiver class in the com.android.phone process in Google Android 4.1.1 through 4.4.2 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and consequently make phone calls to arbitrary numbers, send mmi or ussd codes, or hangup ongoing calls via a crafted application.

The CyanogenMod/ClockWorkMod/Koush Superuser package 1.0.2.1 for Android 4.3 and 4.4 does not properly restrict the set of users who can execute /system/xbin/su with the --daemon option, which allows attackers to gain privileges by leveraging ADB shell access and a certain Linux UID, and then creating a Trojan horse script.

Google Android prior to 4.4 has an APK Signature Security Bypass Vulnerability

Android before 4.4 does not properly arrange for seeding of the OpenSSL PRNG, which makes it easier for attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging use of the PRNG within multiple applications.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Qualcomm components in Android before 2016-07-05 allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application.

The Device Administrator code in Android before 4.4.1_r1 might allow attackers to spoof device administrators and consequently bypass MDM restrictions by leveraging failure to update the mAdminMap data structure.

WiFiMonitor in Android 4.4.4 as used in the Nexus 5 and 4, Android 4.2.2 as used in the LG D806, Android 4.2.2 as used in the Samsung SM-T310, Android 4.1.2 as used in the Motorola RAZR HD, and potentially other unspecified Android releases before 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 does not properly handle exceptions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reboot) via a crafted 802.11 probe response frame.

java/android/webkit/BrowserFrame.java in Android before 4.4 uses the addJavascriptInterface API in conjunction with creating an object of the SearchBoxImpl class, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary Java code by leveraging access to the searchBoxJavaBridge_ interface at certain Android API levels.

cmds/servicemanager/service_manager.c in Android before commit 7d42a3c31ba78a418f9bdde0e0ab951469f321b5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference, or out-of-bounds write) via vectors related to binder passed lengths.

**DISPUTED** SQL injection vulnerability in SQLiteDatabase.java in the SQLi Api in Android allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the delete method.

A Code Execution vulnerability exists in Android prior to 4.4.0 related to the addJavascriptInterface method and the accessibility and accessibilityTraversal objects, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code.

luni/src/main/java/java/io/ObjectInputStream.java in the java.io.ObjectInputStream implementation in Android before 5.0.0 does not verify that deserialization will result in an object that met the requirements for serialization, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted finalize method for a serialized object in an ArrayMap Parcel within an intent sent to system_service, as demonstrated by the finalize method of android.os.BinderProxy, aka Bug 15874291.

btif/src/btif_dm.c in Android before 5.1 does not properly enforce the temporary nature of a Bluetooth pairing, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted Bluetooth packets after the tapping of a crafted NFC tag.
