Vulnerabilities in Android Libraries

The Android platform has a large number of open-source libraries, but it also has thousands of pre-installed apps. This poses a risk because malicious apps can exploit the vulnerabilities in these libraries to gain control over other apps.

One such vulnerability is found in code that handles ICMP echo requests when an app is running as root. An app may be able to read files on other devices via directory traversal and run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Another vulnerability is in URL parsing and input validation, where an app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Other vulnerabilities are found in memory handling, kernel code integrity, ASLR implementation, data access restrictions, and Hostile Launcher detection.
