August 2015 by Vigil@nce
This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can generate an infinite loop in MediaServer of Google
Android OS, in order to trigger a denial of service.
Impacted products: Android OS.
Severity: 1/4.
Creation date: 04/08/2015.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Google Android OS system uses the MediaServer service to
display videos in MKV (Matroska) format.
However, a malformed MKV video triggers an infinite loop in
MatroskaExtractor.cpp.
An attacker can therefore generate an infinite loop in MediaServer
of Google Android OS, in order to trigger a denial of service.
