BEYOND ANDROID MTE: NAVIGATING OEM'S LOGIC LABYRINTHS

No ratings

Presented at Offensive Security Conference 2024 by

With some of the first phones with MTE hitting the market, we are once more facing the seemingly imminent doom of our beloved industry. Wait! What about our trusty old friends, the logic bugs? While some turn their attention to weaker SoC components, we're back at Mobile Pwn2Own to show you how a few silly bugs can be chained to effortlessly pwn the latest Samsung and Xiaomi flagships. In this talk, we will discuss the types of bugs we target, the attack surface that expose them, and describe some of the more interesting and bizarre issues that we have disclosed at Pwn2Own over the past 10 years. We will of course focus on last year's issues, outlining the multiple failures we faced and also share a rather spicy story with a shameless vendor. Come for the bugs, stay for the cat memes. Pay close attention and you might even spot a 0day or two.
