The link_image function in linker/linker.c in the dynamic linker in Bionic in Open Handset Alliance Android 1.0 on the T-Mobile G1 phone does not properly handle file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 for a setgid program, which allows local users to create arbitrary files owned by certain groups, possibly a related issue to CVE-2002-0820.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Android issue affecting the Bionic dynamic linker on Android 1.0 for the T-Mobile G1. A local user could abuse mishandled standard file descriptors in a setgid program to create files owned by certain groups. Business impact is mainly for obsolete devices or research archives, not modern Android fleets based on the supplied evidence. Exposure appears limited to Android 1.0 on the T-Mobile G1 as named in the CVE description. The affected-products metadata is incomplete, so do not assume other Android versions are affected without vendor or source-code confirmation. Low for normal enterprise environments unless obsolete Android G1-era devices remain operational. Treat as a legacy hygiene and asset-discovery issue rather than an urgent internet-facing incident. Mitigation focus: Identify any Android 1.0 or T-Mobile G1 devices in inventory.; Retire or isolate obsolete affected devices where possible.; Check Android or device-vendor guidance for historical fixes..
