In the ioctl handlers of the Mediatek Command Queue driver, there is a possible out of bounds write due to insufficient input sanitization and missing SELinux restrictions. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.

Sources

  • CISA KEVConfirmed exploitationCVE-2020-0069

    Multiple MediaTek chipsets contain an insufficient input validation vulnerability and have missing SELinux restrictions in the Command Queue drivers ioctl handlers. This causes an out-of-bounds write leading to privilege escalation. This vulnerability was observed chained with CVE-2019-2215 and CVE-2020-0041 under exploit chain "AbstractEmu."
