Android fps sysfs Entry Buffer Overflow

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Android fps sysfs Entry Buffer Overflow</TITLE><META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD><BODY>Android: Buffer overflow in "fps" sysfs entry The GPU driver on Exynos SoCs exposes several sysfs entries. One such entry, "fps", allows the user to overwrite or query to global FPS string. The "fps" sysfs entry is present under: /sys/devices/platform/gpusysfs/fps Writes to this entry are handled by the function "fps_show", under: drivers/gpu/gpu_sysfs/gpu_sysfs_target_exynos<VERSION>.c This function fails to validate the length of the user-supplied string, before copying it into a static global variable, "global_fps_string". ssize_t fps_write(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, const char *buf, size_t count) { pr_info("SRUK ----------- %s -- %d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); if (buf != NULL) sprintf(global_fps_string,"%s", buf); else sprintf(global_fps_string,"0"); /* Return success status. */ return count; } The "buf" argument contains the user-supplied data. Supplying a string larger than the static buffer (i.e., larger than 32 bytes), will allow an attacker to trigger the overflow. I've statically verified this issue on an SM-G935F device. The open-source kernel package I analysed was "SM-G935F_MM_Opensource". The sysfs entry mentioned above is owned by the "root" user and group and has an SELinux context of: "u:object_r:sysfs:s0". According to the default SELinux rules as present on the SM-G935F (version XXS1APG3), the following contexts may access these files: allow ipm sysfs : file { write setattr } ; allow netd sysfs : file write ;
