vulnerability in LG's "HiddenMenu" allows you to execute shell commands
as the system, with a large array of additional permissions (Groups). This
vulnerability opens up the device to further attacks. Due to the large
number of models sharing similar firmware, I have no idea how many devices
are affected.
Details:
Dial: 3845#*XXX# ( XXX to be replaced with model number, in this case
3845#*973#)
HiddenMenu will open, select WLAN Test, then select Wi-Fi Ping Test/User
Command, then select User Command.
Replace the tcpdump command with the command you wish to run as system
user
Then press cancel (not ok). The application will execute the command as
system user.
