Linux Kernel MSM_CAM_IOCTL_SET_MEM_MAP_INFO Privilege Escalation
Published Jan 16, 2018 · corrected/updated Jan 16, 2018 · codeaurora android-msm · evidence confidence very high
The device-initialization functionality in the MSM camera driver for the Linux kernel 2.6.x and 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, enables MSM_CAM_IOCTL_SET_MEM_MAP_INFO ioctl calls for an unrestricted mmap interface, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application.
