QID 610551: Google Android 2.x and 3.x Numeric Errors Vulnerability

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.

On successful exploitation, it could allow an attacker to execute code.

CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.8 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as High - 7.2 severity.
