What is CVE-2017-13308?

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the implementation of tscpu_write_GPIO_out and mtkts_Abts_write functions within the mtk_ts_Abts.c file. This issue arises from improper input validation when using sscanf, which could be exploited to gain elevated system execution privileges through local access. Notably, user interaction is not required for this vulnerability to be exploited, which raises significant security concerns for devices utilizing affected MediaTek chipsets.
