Descriptions

media/libmedia/IOMX.cpp in mediaserver in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.0.x before 5.0.2, 5.1.x before 5.1.1, and 6.x before 2016-04-01 does not initialize a parameter data structure, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory, and consequently bypass an unspecified protection mechanism, via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by obtaining Signature or SignatureOrSystem access, aka internal bug 26914474.

media/libmedia/IOMX.cpp en mediaserver en Android 4.x en versiones anteriores a 4.4.4, 5.0.x en versiones anteriores a 5.0.2, 5.1.x en versiones anteriores a 5.1.1 y 6.x en versiones anteriores a 2016-04-01 no inicializa una estructura de datos de parámetros, lo que permite a atacantes obtener información sensible de memoria de procesos, y consecuentemente eludir un mecanismo de protección no especificado, a través de vectores no especificados, según lo demostrado por la obtención de acceso Signature o SignatureOrSystem, también conocida como error interno 26914474.

The GET_CONFIG and GET_PARAMETER calls on IOMX are vulnerable to an information disclosure of uninitialized heap memory. This could be used by an attacker to break ASLR in the media server process by reading out heap memory which contains useful address information.
