CVE-2017-5554

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An issue was discovered in ABOOT in OnePlus 3 and 3T OxygenOS before 4.0.2, allowing an attacker to reboot the device into fastboot mode without authentication. An attacker can use ADB access to issue the reboot bootloader command and change SELinux to permissive mode.

Risk Assessment

The lack of authentication for fastboot mode poses a risk that a physical attacker can gain full access to the system, leading to serious security vulnerabilities.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the system to OxygenOS version 4.0.2 or later to patch this vulnerability and to restrict physical access to devices.

Original NVD description (English source)

An issue was discovered in ABOOT in OnePlus 3 and 3T OxygenOS before 4.0.2. The attacker can reboot the device into the fastboot mode, which could be done without any authentication. A physical attacker can press the "Volume Up" button during device boot, where an attacker with ADB access can issue the adb reboot bootloader command. Then, the attacker can put the platform's SELinux in permissive mode, which severely weakens it, by issuing: fastboot oem selinux permissive.
