quarkslab/cve-2020-0069_pocProof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2020-0069 on Mediatek Android devices, enabling kernel memory read/write and syscall hooking for privilege escalation.
This repository contains the materials we used to investigate CVE-2020-0069 on a Xiaomi Redmi 6a (with a Mediatek SoC MT6762M).
There are three programs:
kernel_rw.c a C program allowing to read/write kernel memorypoc.sh a shell scriptsyscall_hook.c a C library that can be used to trace the program mtk-su (tested on version 19)To build the binaries:
$ ndk-build
Then push them on the device:
$ adb push poc.sh /data/local/tmp
$ adb push libs/armeabi-v7a/kernel_rw /data/local/tmp
$ adb push libs/armeabi-v7a/libsyscall_hook.so /data/local/tmp
