Description

In multiple functions of RoleService.java, there is a possible permission squatting vulnerability due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege on versions of Android where android.permission.MANAGE_DEFAULT_APPLICATIONS was not defined with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
