Escalating root privileges: critical MediaTek vulnerability

Nice.

MediaTek explained that the vulnerability stems from a debug feature that the chip-maker said smartphone manufacturers should have disabled before shipping the devices and told that that the vulnerability exists on devices running Android 4.4 KitKat.

“We are aware of this issue and it has been reviewed by MediaTek’s security team. It was mainly found in devices running Android 4.4 KitKat, due to a de-bug feature created for telecommunication inter-operability testing in China.” Source: techlog360.com

Can someone with the old FP-ROM quickly check it? Should be easy.
