Integer overflow in nvhost_job.c in the NVIDIA video driver for Android, Shield TV before OTA 3.3, Shield Table before OTA 4.4, and Shield Table TK1 before OTA 1.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via unspecified vectors, which triggers a buffer overflow.
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
