Stack-based buffer overflow in the havok_write function in drivers/staging/havok/havok.c in Amazon Fire OS before 2016-01-15 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long string to /dev/hv.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
