Package: android-tools-adb
Version: 4.1.1+git20120801-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security

adb starts a daemon on first call without asking the user. This daemon
listens on a TCP port on localhost:

| $ id -u
| 1000
| $ netstat -tlpen | …
| Proto Local Address  Foreign Address State  User PID/Program name
| tcp   127.0.0.1:5037 0.0.0.0:*       LISTEN 1000 22319/adb       

This daemon does not feature any user authentication and allows other
users to access the connected devices with the permissions of the user
running the daemon:

| $ id -u
| 1001
| $ adb shell  
| shell at android:/ $ ^D
