minus-squareVeticia@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up35·1 年前I wonder if this could be used to root previously unrootable Android based devices.
minus-squareloics2@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up56·1 年前Android doesn’t use glibc, but Bionic, a C standard library developed by Google. So I don’t think this vulnerability affects Android.
minus-squareKnusper@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 年前What the heck. I thought, they were using musl. Certainly seems like this has rather similar goals to musl…
