setresuid(⚡): #Glitching Google's TV Streamer from #adb to root by @raelizecom
“TL;DR: We presented this attack at hardwear.io NL 2025. Starting from an unprivileged adb shell on Google’s TV Streamer 4K, we use an ElectroMagnetic (EM) glitch on the Mediatek MT8696’s CPU to bypass the kernel-side capability checks of the setresuid syscall. The kernel falls through to commit_creds(), our calling process gets uid = 0, and we drop a telnetd-static listener on the device. We’re not there all the way, SELinux is still in effect, but the we glitched from shell to root on a 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 CPU.”
