摘要: Android is a modern and popular software platform for smartphones. Among its predominant features an advanced security model which based on application-oriented mandatory access control sandboxing. This allows developers users to restrict the execution of application privileges it has (mandatorily) assigned at installation time. The exploitation vulnerabilities in program code hence believed be confined within privilege boundaries application's sandbox. However, this paper we show that escalation attack possible. We genuine exploited runtime or malicious can escalate granted permissions. Our results immediately imply Android's cannot deal with transitive permission usage sandbox fails as last resort against malware sophisticated attacks.
