Google and other OEMs have yet to patch a critical Android security flaw
Google has detailed a critical security flaw for phones containing a Mali GPU that has yet to be properly addressed.
Google's Project Zero team posted on its official blog details on what this issue is and why it is so important that a fix for it comes out immediately. The critical security issue, CVE-2022-33917, affects devices containing ARM's Mali GPU. The report lists users of devices from Google, Samsung, Xiaomi, and OPPO with a Mali GPU are at risk of this critical unpatched security flaw.
Researchers found five separate issues between June and July with one that dealt with "kernel corruption." Another issue, as Project Zero informs, would lead to "physical memory addresses being disclosed to userspace." The remaining three issues of the five would "lead to a physical page use-after-free condition."
