The cmd_boot function in app/aboot/aboot.c in the Little Kernel (LK) bootloader, as distributed with Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allows attackers to bypass intended device-lock and kernel-signature restrictions by using fastboot mode in a boot command for an arbitrary kernel image.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
