Root Qualcomm security risk?

[miediev]

I just came across a thread on XDA by alephzain that points out a security flaw on some Qualcomm based devices that can be exploited to gain root privileges:

Hi,

An issue on qualcomm has been addressed to CodeAurora more than one month now.
You will find details and patch about issue here for custom kernel developpers.

I have published an exploit (named Gandalf) in Framaroot to root vulnerable Qualcomm based devices, you can download the apk in this thread and give feedbacks if it work on your device.

Can anyone confirm this vulnerability in the Elite? If so, maybe one of our devs can add the patch to giantpunes overclock kernel.
