Technical description

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the MSM camera driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allow attackers to gain privileges via (1) a crafted VIDIOC_MSM_VPE_DEQUEUE_STREAM_BUFF_INFO ioctl call, related to drivers/media/platform/msm/camera_v2/pproc/vpe/msm_vpe.c, or (2) a crafted VIDIOC_MSM_CPP_DEQUEUE_STREAM_BUFF_INFO ioctl call, related to drivers/media/platform/msm/camera_v2/pproc/cpp/msm_cpp.c.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from codeaurora. Update android-msm to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
