In multiple functions of multiple files, there is a possible way to bypass the DISALLOWDEBUGGINGFEATURES restriction for tracing due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-11 Android-12 Android-12L Android-13Android ID: A-270050064
