CVSS v3.1
Official Description
A certain configuration of Android 2.3.7 on the Motorola Defy XT phone for Republic Wireless uses init to create a /dev/socket/init_runit socket that listens for shell commands, which allows local users to gain privileges by interacting with a LocalSocket object.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2013-4777 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
