The issue is related to insufficient memory protection, which may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. It is also associated with insecure privilege management, which can be exploited by an attacker to elevate their privileges.

This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the handling of the `miui.share` application due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in an arbitrary application download. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the user.

This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. User interaction is required, where the target must connect to a wireless network. The flaw exists within the captive portal, specifically by manipulating HTML to force a page redirection. This can be leveraged to execute code in the context of the current process.

This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. Authentication is not required to exploit this issue. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the GameServiceReceiver update mechanism, allowing an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Samsung Notes versions prior to 2.0.02.31 Description: This issue allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system. The flaw exists within the handling of ZIP files, specifically due to the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. This allows an attacker to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the application. Recommendations: For versions prior to 2.0.02.31, update to version 2.0.02.31 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the handling of ZIP files until a patch is applied. Avoid using user-supplied paths in file operations to minimize the risk of exploitation.

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Samsung Galaxy Apps versions prior to 4.2.18.2 Description: This issue allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system. The flaw exists within the handling of a staging mode, specifically in the ability to change the configuration based on the presence of a file in a user-controlled location. This can be leveraged to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the application. Recommendations: For versions prior to 4.2.18.2, update to version 4.2.18.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the staging mode to minimize the risk of exploitation.

This issue allows remote attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system. The flaw exists within the handling of Intents, specifically in the ability to send an Intent that would not otherwise be reachable. This can be leveraged to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the application.

The issue is related to errors in security settings, allowing a remote attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information using a specially crafted HTML page. The content renderer client in Google Chrome insufficiently enforces the Same Origin Policy amongst downloaded files, enabling a remote attacker to access any downloaded file and interact with sites, including those the user was logged into, via a crafted HTML page.
