Android 4.3 Notes

Quote: Restrict Setuid from Android Apps



The /system partition is now mounted nosuid for zygote-spawned processes, preventing Android applications from executing setuid programs. This reduces root attack surface and likelihood of potential security vulnerabilities.

Hi EveryoneBecause I'm lazy and was tired re-rooting manually my devices after installing manufacturers OTA updates, I wrote an app that protects root in one touch event.It is available for free on Android market and its source code is Open Source under WTFPL (github) Translations and code contributions are welcome.OTA RootKeeper will detect what's possible or not and display available options accordingly.Typically works for: Nexus S, Every Honeycomb tablets.On ExtFS partition, root survives anything but true formating or partition wiping.It means some update tools like KIES/Odin for Samsung device will wipe the whole thing anyway because they write complete new partition.I needed this app so I wrote it, hopefully it will be useful to you too!Based on Android 4.3 release notes, on Enterprise and Security, Restrict Setuid from Android Apps , su binaries and Superuser apps designed for previous Android generation will simply not work on 4.3:It means preserving root with OTA Root Keeper won't be possible anymore as new rooting techniques rely on more than just a setuid su binary in /system.I'll look into solution of course to preserve the functionality if possible, but until then please follow Chainfire's job on SuperSU betas.
