The PackageManagerService class in services/java/com/android/server/PackageManagerService.java in Android 1.5 through 1.5 CRB42 does not properly check developer certificates during processing of sharedUserId requests at an applications installation time, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to access application data by creating a package that specifies a shared user ID with an arbitrary application.
Weakness
When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
