gdisk: possible out-of-bounds-write in LoadPartitionTable of gpt.cc
In LoadPartitionTable of gpt.cc, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege when inserting a malicious USB device, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-8.1 Android-9 Android-10 Android-8.0Android ID: A-152874864
An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in gdisks' LoadPartitionTable() function of 'gpt.cc'. The exploitation of this flaw requires the use of a malicious storage device (for example, a USB Stick) that can cause a crash when physically inserted into the system and possible local privilege escalation. This flaw allows an attacker to compromise conf

CVE-2020-0256 GPT fdisk vulnerabilities
Title: GPT fdisk vulnerabilities
Summary: The sgdisk utility of GPT fdisk could be made to crash or
possibly allow for elevated privileges.
The potential for an out of bounds write due to a missing bounds
check was discovered to impact the sgdisk utility of GPT fdisk.
Exploitation requires the use of a maliciously formatted storage
device and could cause sgdisk to crash as well as possibly
allow for local privilege escalation.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
