Exploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2016-8430. PoCs published by codecat007.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This PoC exploits a race condition in the NVIDIA nvhost driver (CVE-2016-8430) by manipulating memory handles and triggering concurrent IOCTL calls to achieve local privilege escalation (LPE). The code demonstrates the vulnerability by creating and allocating nvmap handles while racing IOCTL operations to exploit improper error notifier handling.
Description
An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the NVIDIA GPU driver could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as Critical due to the possibility of a local permanent device compromise, which may require reflashing the operating system to repair the device. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10. Android ID: A-32225180. References: N-CVE-2016-8430.
