Release Date December 11, 2014 Affected Projects: Android for MSM Firefox OS for MSM QRD Android Advisory ID QCIR-2014-00007-1 CVE ID(s) CVE-2014-4323 Description The following security vulnerability has been identified in the implementation of the MDP display driver for Android: CVE-2014-4323: The MDP display driver provides an ioctl system call interface to user space clients for communication. When processing this communication, the mdp_lut_hw_update function uses the user-supplied values start and len from an fb_cmap structure for write operations without any boundary checks. A local application with graphics privileges can access the MDP display device node and use this to, e.g., elevate privileges. Access Vector: local Security Risk: high Vulnerability: CWE-20 (Improper input validation) Affected versions All active branches of the MSM kernel for Android on CAF are affected. The driver itself is only used on the following chipsets: 8064/8960/8660/8x30/7x30.
