Owning Samsung Android devices

Folks, I recently found some security vulnerabilities affecting Samsung Android phones. The bugs lie in Samsung-specific customizations and not in the Android code base. While waiting for Samsung security patches, I published an overview of the issues here: http://randomthoughts.greyhats.it/2013/03/owning-samsung-phones-for-fun-but-with.html Possible consequences are quite interesting, as the vulnerabilities allow an *unprivileged* application to perform several nefarious tasks, ranging from sending SMS messages to installing APK packages, but also including some denial-of-services and info leaks. I hope I will be able to disclose the technical details soon. Cheers, -- Roberto Paleari (@rpaleari) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
