Exploit:

CVE-2015-4640 and CVE-2015-4641

Goal:

Escalate this to root (0) if possible and work around WP (write-protection) or be able to turn off certain WP with the help of this exploit.

Root Status:

Temp Root

Exploit Explanation Link:

https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2015/06/16/remote-code-execution-as-system-user-on-samsung-phones/

Current Status of Progress:

Working on receiving the file and modify it afterwards.

To see if your keyboard has been patched or not, open up a terminal on your phone or phone connected to your PC with a terminal on the PC and type this:

ls -l /system/app/SamsungIME*

You should see this (not patched on KK 4.4.4):

***If you have knowledge in this please come forward and offer help so we can see if it's possible to get root (0) with this and finally get permanent root. I will update this periodically when time becomes available. It's slow work and a new ground to breach with a lot to understand to modify it and see what use we can make of it.

This exploit is only being done on KK (KitKat) 4.4.4. Do not ask if it will work on LP (Lollipop) 5.0.1. Do not ask why terminal doesn't match up with mine for 4.4.4 if you're on 5.0.1. I cannot confirm if it was patched for 5.0.1 or later. If this exploit does what we need to do for perm root and such then further testing will be done for 5.0.1 or later. Right now the main focus and all work is going to be done for 4.4.4 ONLY.

So I tried starting this from work (I work for the Gov't :D), and my ability to share any connection was strictly declined - even with my domain admin access ;).

I'm going to hit this from the Windows side, so instead of Hostapd and mitmproxy, I'm going to use the built in Windows 8 WiFi hotspot and Fiddler. For any lurkers that want to check this out, here's a beginners guide to MITM with fiddler:

http://www.mehdi-khalili.com/fiddler-in-action/part-1/

Note: This talks about SSL stuff... the keyboard exploit doesn't use SSL, hence why it's a vulnerability! If you have some tech savviness, you can try piecing this together with the link hex posted and see how far you can get.

I have experience with injection, the quest for the team is going to see how much damage we can do running something from the "system user" context!

Also, I'm currently running 5.0.1 OF1 build. I'm going to start here, and progressively roll back to 4.4 to see if/when the exploit was patched
[Galaxy Note 4 Developer Discussion (Devs., Only)] tekjester:
A few updates before I head to bed:

I get an output of:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root

for ONLY system/app/SamsungIME.apk

I don't have anything for a .odex

However, great news out of fiddler! The keyboard exploit is STILL unpatched. Check out the attachment below!

I'm not sure if the ODEX file is critical or not to running in system context. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Here's what I did to get where I'm at on Windows 8.1. Figured I'd save everyone the headaches.

Download/Install Fiddler

Open an admin command prompt

"ncpa.cpl"

3a. Turn on Internet Connection Sharing for your normal internet connection

"netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="test" key=testtesttest"

"netsh wlan start hostednetwork"

On your phone, turn on airplane mode, turn wifi back on (no mobile data)

Connect to your new WiFi Network - you'll need special settings because windows can't figure out DHCP without some pretty drastic steps - I assume your hostednetwork IP is 192.168.137.1, if not, adjust accordingly:

7a. Configure Proxy server as manual: Hostname "192.168.137.1" Port "8888"

7b. Switch DHCP to manual: IP Address 192.168.137.2 Gateway: 192.168.137.1 DNS: 8.8.8.8

Back over to Fiddler: This guy explains it better than me

I didn't see a keyboard grab when I rebooted. However, I can get the keyboard to search on the phone by going to Settings > Language and Inputs > Samsung Keyboard > Select Input Langage

Once there, the phone reaches out for a json file with the sha hash and the payload. This is where the whitepaper comes into play and where our experimentation begins!
[Galaxy Note 4 Developer Discussion (Devs., Only)] tekjester:
Quick follow-up. While the packages are still sent unencrypted, running in System UID requires execution from the Dalvik Cache. No Dalvik Cache means no execution :( Looks like anything we run will be on 4.4
[Galaxy Note 4 Developer Discussion (Devs., Only)] Hurrian:
+1 confirmation that the updates are still sent unencrypted on Lollipop. Moving on to verify if directory traversal still works.

tekjester, just a suggestion - achieving code execution on Lollipop might require running dex2oat to get the code in a format that ART would execute.

I'll dig deeper into this soon - here's hoping it can be made to work on Lollipop, reverting to Kitkat and upgrading with Flashfire without tripping Knox would be a... fun weekend project.

I was previously on 5.0.2 on my UK S6 Edge sim free and yesterday I got this 5.1.1 update.

No idea if it's the standard 5.1.1 or the updated one that fixes the memory and battery leaks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] foxmeister:
That's BOGB, so the latest 5.1.1.

Too early to say for sure if this fixes all my issues with my S6E but, after 24 hours running it, it does seem better than any of the other S6E builds I've used.

That's cool. It's difficult for me to say as I never got the update to the first 5.1.1 and was stuck on 5.0.2 and only yesterday did i get the update to 5.1.1

But so far battery life seems to be on par with 5.0.2 and I do notice that unlocking the lock screen and going into the home screen seems a tad faster.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hey guys, I'm having some serious issues with a stock LG Sunrise (LGL15G). My phone was working perfectly fine last night right before I went to bed, however, when I woke up this morning it started to lock up and wasn't responding so I did what any normal person would do and I went to power off and restart. Now when the phone restarted I got an error message saying "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped." I clicked the OK button however the message kept coming back no matter how many times I clicked it. I them proceeded to pull the battery out (the phone was not allowing me to select my power off option while holding the power button) and replace it and start up the phone. This time I got a black background and the same message and if I press it through about 20-30 times it finally disappears however, I can not do anything with the phone none of the options work except for the power option when i hold the power button. I've tried booting into safe mode and was able to work around the error (with extremely quick timing and proper clicking of the setting button and tried to do a reset however it's blacked out according to server policy. This phone is completely stock with no root/custom recovery, and I can not seem to find a way to boot into a stock recovery for this phone. I know that some of the LG phone did not come with a stock recovery installed but I have no idea how I can fix this issue. I know this isn't a support group but I've been having a close to impossible time trying to find information on the LG Sunrise since it's not a popular phone, I just need guidance to anyone who has any information on this and any possible solutions.

[G4 General] drtchocky:
So I've been one of those suffering from "not-the-best" battery life... on average I get about 2 to 2.5 hours of SOT and a total battery life of about 12 hours. This after disabling pretty much every single notification, setting auto brightness with 70%, using high accuracy GPS, doing a lot of photography, moderate amount of surfing/web video watching, very little texting and no gaming. I I go hard and use it a lot more than usual, I'll get 7-8 hours of battery life.

My question though is, I looked under Android System right now and with 7h52m of usage, I have a GPS on time of 3h26m. I haven't used maps but have used facebook, flickr, and instagram.... isn't that high? Or is that normal for the high accuracy mode?
[G4 General] Unheard:
Assuming you have rooted, download App Ops and disable the GPS app's ability to keep the phone awake.
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
I'm not sure where to check, to look at my GPS time with a Verizon model?

But, just to mention the simple stuff, you could change to Networks Only, if approximate locations were sufficient.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Go to App drawer > Google Settings > Location > Mode > Battery Saving.

[G4 General] drtchocky:
Huh? Wait, I was responding to someone who choose to be snarky. I had a day specific question... With high accuracy on, is half that time with GPS awake normal. Which has not been answered.
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
Yes, it becomes less accurate, and is not suitable for use with navigation/maps.

Rightly or wrongly, I leave Location set to Networks Only (battery saving), unless I'm using the phone for navigation. Then I change it to GPS Only, or maybe High Accuracy.

I made a shortcut to Location on my home screen, to make this process quicker. It sounds like, with root, this switching back and forth can be automated.
[G4 General] shojus:
I know, and I was just letting you know that I understand where u are coming from! :) Anyways, ever since I have rooted too, I am getting my GPS staying on for long periods of time when I'm not using it. I have just turned it off until I figure what's causing it. I'm sure it's just a rogue app that has to be deleted or else I froze something with Titanium Backup that's causing the issue. Anyways, i will report back if I find out exactly what it was.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
I always leave mine on high accuracy. It should have little effect on the battery. If it's causing a high drain, there's something not quite right.

As stated above, you could use Tasker to disable it and turn it on when running maps etc.
[G4 General] Pyrres:
I would also like to know whats causing this. It has happened all the time I have owned the phone. So root or not does not make a difference. Also mine is non carrier 815 eur model so carrier bloat is not the culprint. I have already taken location permission off from most of the apps but no use. So if anyone knows the solution or how to find the toque app I would really really appreciate if you told about it.

[G4 General] Pyrres:
Done, but is there a way to see what uses gps?

EDIT: Never mind. Found a way to find out what uses GPS using App ops. It seems it was Google search app. Dont know how or why but seems like something had enabled location history even thought I remember disabling it from the settings. Lets see does the GPS/battery use drop significantly.

So I already disabled location history many weeks ago. So I have no freakin' clue why my battery sheds so fast...

Try what I did if you are rooted use App ops to find out what has asked for your location. Mine was of course first Android system etc but after that it said Google Search app. Mine seems at least better now. Not perfect but much better.

And actually even if you are not rooted you can use the built in permission manager.

I think a few of us are getting too carried away with root lol. I, myself, sure had to catch myself. Don't forget that most of us do not have a custom recovery which means if you brick your device, you'll probably have to pm the devs and if a lot of that happens, they'll end up with an even bigger inbox than before root lol but my main reason for the thread is that everybody is speaking on unlocking the bootloader but I haven't heard one word on a bump'd recovery like on the G3? Is that even possible on this phone? By the way, would it be risky if I tried the universal init.d app? Kinda wanna try L Speed on this.

Only the 815EU and 811 have unlocked bootloaders hence TWRP the rest of the g4 community does not have this benefit... On the subject of bumped, pretty sure that exploit used has been closed by LG...if you guys thought root took long the wait for another BL exploit likely will be much longer. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see another one being found for a while. Seems this time around LG really wants to lock every avenue down. The next coming soon firmware update will patch the current root backdoor, also the root that vnmobile discovered seems to be patched as well, although he hasn't released any details, it could very well be the same backdoor.
