Ερευνητής της Google αναφέρει ότι διέρρευσαν κλειδιά υπογραφής πιστοποιητικών (certificates) της Samsung, της LG της Mediatek και πολλών άλλων OEM.
Ο Lukasz Siewierski, μέλος της Ομάδας Ασφάλειας Android της Google, he published on the Android Partner Vulnerability Initiative (AVPI) issue tracker leaked platform certificate keys used to sign malware.
The post is a list of certificates, but if you run each of them through the APKMirror or the website VirusTotal of Google well-known names will appear: h SamsungThe LG and Mediatek είναι οι μεγάλες επιτυχίες στη λίστα των certificates που διέρρευσαν, μαζί με μερικά μικρότερα OEMs όπως η Revoview και η Szroco, που κατασκευάζει τα tablet Walmart’s Onn.
Senior Technical Editor Mishaal Rahman, also posted excellent information for the specific leak on Twitter.
As he explains, having an app that has the same UID as Android's system isn't quite root access, but it's close and allows that app to escape any sandboxing restrictions that exist for system apps.
These apps can communicate directly with (or, in the case of malware, spy on) other apps on your phone. Imagine a malicious version of Google Play Services to get an idea.
