Technical Details

Zergrush is a family of exploits that leverage the known CVE-2011-3874 vulnerability to gain root privileges on a mobile device running earlier (2.3.6 and below) versions of the Android operating system. This operation allows users to circumvent limitations that may be imposed on the device by the manufacturer or carrier.

Zergrush exploit code (included as a component in a toolkit or app that serves as a hack-tool) is most commonly used to gain root privileges on their Android device. The legality of this usage depends on the specific legal jurisdiction, and whether it was performed by the device's legitimate owner.
