In ExternalVibration of ExternalVibration.java, there is a possible activation of an arbitrary intent due to unsafe deserialization. This could lead to local escalation of privilege to system_server with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-10Android ID: A-140417434

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
