CVE-2019-2107 - looks scary. Still remember Stagefright and PNG bugs vulns .... With CVE-2019-2107 the decoder/codec runs under mediacodec user and with properly "crafted" video (with tiles enabled - ps_pps->i1_tiles_enabled_flag) you can possibly do RCE. The codec affected is HVEC (a.k.a H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2) #exploit #rce #android #stagefright #cve More infos LineageOS (Android): 02-11 20:18:48.238 260 260 D FFmpegExtractor: ffmpeg detected media content as 'video/hevc' with confidence 0.08 02-11 20:18:48.239 260 260 I FFMPEG : [hevc @ 0xb348f000] Invalid tile widths. 02-11 20:18:48.239 260 260 I FFMPEG : [hevc @ 0xb348f000] PPS id out of range: 0 02-11 20:18:48.240 260 260 I FFMPEG : [hevc @ 0xb348f000] Invalid tile widths. 02-11 20:18:48.240 260 260 I FFMPEG : [hevc @ 0xb348f000] PPS id out of range: 0 02-11 20:18:48.240 260 260 I FFMPEG : [hevc @ 0xb348f000] Error parsing NAL unit #5. 02-11 20:18:48.240 260 260 I FFMPEG : [hevc @ 0xb348f000] Invalid tile widths. mplayer (laptop) id: 0 [hevc @ 0x7f0bf58a7560]Decoding VPS [hevc @ 0x7f0bf58a7560]Main profile bitstream [hevc @ 0x7f0bf58a7560]Decoding SPS [hevc @ 0x7f0bf58a7560]Main profile bitstream [hevc @ 0x7f0bf58a7560]Decoding VUI [hevc @ 0x7f0bf58a7560]Decoding PPS [hevc @ 0x7f0bf58a7560]Invalid tile widths.

Error while decoding frame! This stops it when the tile width is bigger than allowed: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/meson-ports/ffmpeg/blob/ebf648d490448d511b5fe970d76040169e65ef74/libavcodec/hevc_ps.c#L1526 So the check are there. On stock/google Andoird I think it will use libhevc, not ffmpeg, when using VideoPlayer. https://www.droidviews.com/enjoy-hevc-h-265-video-playback-on-android/ I have the google codec: OMX.google.hevc.decoder I am wondering however why it does not crash .... Attaching the video (videopoc.mp4) that should trigger this condition: if (value >= ps_sps->i2_pic_wd_in_ctb - start) + { + return IHEVCD_INVALID_HEADER; + } Maybe somebody have more luck. More infos 2 Whoooo hooo .... made it :) Proof of concept is in hevc-crash-poc.mp4, other videos are for non andoird players. Hvec-"fright" is possible. You can own the mobile by viewing a video with payload. In my example I didn't include real payload. 07-13 21:50:59.000 3351 3351 I /system/bin/tombstoned: received crash request for pid 24089 07-13 21:50:59.006 24089 24089 F DEBUG : *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** 07-13 21:50:59.006 24089 24089 F DEBUG : Build fingerprint: 'samsung/hero2ltexx/hero2lte:8.0.0/R16NW/G935FXXS4ESC3:user/release-keys' 07-13 21:50:59.006 24089 24089 F DEBUG : Revision: '9' 07-13 21:50:59.006 24089 24089 F DEBUG : ABI: 'arm64' 07-13 21:50:59.006 24089 24089 F DEBUG : pid: 24089, tid: 24089, name: media.extractor >>> mediaextractor <<< 07-13 21:50:59.006 24089 24089 F DEBUG : signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR), fault addr 0x7ccb800050 07-13 21:50:59.009 24089 24089 F DEBUG : x0 00000000ffffff36 x1 0000000000000000 x2 00000000000000f0 x3 0000000000000001 07-13 21:50:59.009 24089 24089 F DEBUG : x4 0000000000000001 x5 0000007ccb5df1b8 x6 0000007cc927363e x7 0000007cc8e7bd04 07-13 21:50:59.009 24089 24089 F DEBUG : x8 0000000000004170 x9 0000000000004160 x10 00000000ffffffff x11 0000007ccb7fbef0 07-13 21:50:59.010 24089 24089 F DEBUG : x12 0000007ccb5d3ce0 x13 000000000000001e x14 0000000000000003 x15 0000000000000001 07-13 21:50:59.010 24089 24089 F DEBUG : x16 0000007cc99f5f50 x17 0000007ccb88885c x18 0000007ccb566225 x19 0000007ccb562020 07-13 21:50:59.010 24089 24089 F DEBUG : x20 0000007ccb4f18a0 x21 0000007ccb468c6c x22 0000000000000000 x23 0000000000000006 07-13 21:50:59.010 24089 24089 F DEBUG : x24 000000000000001e x25 0000000000000094 x26 0000000000004160 x27 0000000000000001 07-13 21:50:59.010 24089 24089 F DEBUG : x28 0000007ccb55e750 x29 0000007fd6d39d90 x30 0000007cc99c4438 07-13 21:50:59.010 24089 24089 F DEBUG : sp 0000007fd6d39d20 pc 0000007cc99c44c4 pstate 0000000080000000 07-13 21:50:59.013 24089 24089 F DEBUG : -- Proof of Concept: https://github.com/offensive-security/exploitdb-bin-sploits/raw/master/bin-sploits/47119.zip
