Descriptions
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Samsung Galaxy S9 prior to January 2019 Security Update (SMR-JAN-2019 - SVE-2018-13467). User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the ASN.1 parser. When parsing ASN.1 strings, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-7472.
Esta vulnerabilidad permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones vulnerables de Samsung Galaxy S9 anterior de la actualización de seguridad de enero de 2019 (SMR-JAN-2019 - SVE-2018-13467). La interacción del usuario es necesaria para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. El defecto específico existe dentro del analizador ASN.1. Al analizar las cadenas ASN.1, el proceso no valida correctamente la longitud de los datos proporcionados por el usuario antes de copiarlos en un búfer basado en el montón de longitud fija. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. Fue ZDI-CAN-7472.
