QSEE privilege escalation vulnerability and exploit
- tveita 10y agoSo how do we remove this "Widevine" malware from our phones?
- laginimaineb 10y agoWidevine DRM is integrated into virtually all Android phones. If you're building your own ROM, you could remove the widevine.bXX files from the ROM image itself - I've never tested it, but it could probably soft-fail. There's no other way to remove it. Anyway, this specific issue has already been fixed (but there are probably more bugs lurking either there on in other trustlets).
- tveita 10y agoThere really should be a way to disable it. People are trusting their phones to keep their business and private data safe. It is unacceptable to expose 2 billion devices to extra-privileged vulnerabilities to appease some MPAA executives in their completely ineffectual schemes to control how the world consumes content.
