Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-7891)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.

Race condition in the ioctl implementation in the Samsung Graphics 2D driver (aka /dev/fimg2d) in Samsung devices with Android L(5.0/5.1) allows local users to trigger memory errors by leveraging definition of g2d_lock and g2d_unlock lock macros as no-ops, aka SVE-2015-4598.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-4546)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Samsung devices with Android KK(4.4) or L(5.0/5.1) allow local users to cause a denial of service (IAndroidShm service crash) via crafted data in a service call.


3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9277)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Integer overflow in SystemUI in KK(4.4) and L(5.0/5.1) on Samsung Note devices allows attackers to cause a denial of service (UI restart) via vectors involving APIs and an activity that computes an out-of-bounds array index, aka SVE-2016-6906.
