    I wonder if this could be used to root previously unrootable Android based devices.

      Android doesn’t use glibc, but Bionic, a C standard library developed by Google. So I don’t think this vulnerability affects Android.

        What the heck. I thought, they were using musl.
        Certainly seems like this has rather similar goals to musl…

          That’s no reason for Google not to reinvent the wheel…

          They did the same with dalvik and ART now. JVMs, but more googlier!

      Think Android uses Bionic instead of glibc (where the vulnerability is being exploited).
