An issue was discovered on LG devices using the MTK chipset with L(5.0/5.1), M(6.0/6.0.1), and N(7.0) software, and RCA Voyager Tablet, BLU Advance 5.0, and BLU R1 HD devices. The MTKLogger app with a package name of com.mediatek.mtklogger has application components that are accessible to any application that resides on the device. Namely, the com.mediatek.mtklogger.framework.LogReceiver and com.mediatek.mtklogger.framework.MTKLoggerService application components are exported since they contain an intent filter, are not protected by a custom permission, and do not explicitly set the android:exported attribute to false. Therefore, these components are exported by default and are thus accessible to any third party application by using android.content.Intent object for communication. These application components can be used to start and stop the logs using Intent objects with embedded data. The available logs are the GPS log, modem log, network log, and mobile log. The base directory that contains the directories for the 4 types of logs is /sdcard/mtklog which makes them accessible to apps that require the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. The GPS log contains the GPS coordinates of the user as well as a timestamp for the coordinates. The modem log contains AT commands and their parameters which allow the user's outgoing and incoming calls and text messages to be obtained. The network log is a tcpdump network capture. The mobile log contains the Android log, which is not available to third-party apps as of Android 4.1. The LG ID is LVE-SMP-160019.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-10135 affects certain LG MTK-chipset Android devices and named RCA/BLU devices. A preinstalled MTKLogger component can be controlled by any installed app, exposing sensitive device logs including GPS, modem, network, and Android logs. The main business risk is privacy and data leakage from managed or employee-owned Android devices. Exposure is limited to affected Android devices: LG MTK-chipset devices running Android 5, 6, or 7, plus RCA Voyager Tablet, BLU Advance 5.0, and BLU R1 HD devices listed in the CVE record. Treat this as a targeted mobile privacy risk for legacy Android fleets, not a broad internet-facing emergency. Prioritize organizations that still permit affected devices to access corporate email, messaging, VPN, or regulated data. Mitigation focus: Check LG and device-vendor security guidance for firmware updates or advisories.; Remove affected devices from sensitive corporate use if no vendor fix is available.; Restrict installation of untrusted apps on managed Android devices..
