Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to modify normally read-only binder pages.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in Rust Binder VMA handling when looking up a VMA by address and installing or zapping pages. A local user can remap memory so that Rust Binder interacts with the wrong VMA to modify normally read-only binder pages.
The issue occurs if the original VMA is closed and replaced with a different VMA at the same address.
