Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in BLU R1 HD (the affected version is unknown) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cryptographic issue vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-310. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An issue was discovered on BLU R1 HD devices with Shanghai Adups software. The content provider named com.adups.fota.sysoper.provider.InfoProvider in the app with a package name of com.adups.fota.sysoper allows any app on the device to read, write, and delete files as the system user. In the com.adups.fota.sysoper app's AndroidManifest.xml file, it sets the android:sharedUserId attribute to a value of android.uid.system which makes it execute as the system user, which is a very privileged user on the device. This allows a third-party app to read, write, and delete the user's sent and received text messages and call log. This allows a third-party app to obtain PII from the user without permission to do so.

The bug was discovered 11/15/2016. The weakness was presented 01/13/2017 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at kryptowire.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2016-10137 since 01/13/2017. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally.
