Ogg: Re: [android-security-discuss] Futex Local Permission Escalation 
Vulnerability



Hi Anant,
Yup, that's what i read too. But towelroot didn't release any source code, not 
sure how he did it. Assume he modified the futex system call vulnerability for 
Android.

i remember TowelRoot by geohot is exploiting this specific issue.
Please correct if i am wrong.

Recently it was reported that a bug in the futex system call will lead to a 
local permission escalation vulnerability in linux.

Does it affect the Android kernel too since it is also based on the Linux 
kernel?
Anyone has any source code to test whether Android is vulnerable to this?


Thanks In Advance
