In libMtkOmxVdec.so there is a possible heap buffer overflow. This could lead to a remote elevation of privilege enabling code execution as a privileged process with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-38308024. References: M-ALPS03495789.
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.
