Google » Android : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In February 2016

packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/recents/AlternateRecentsComponent.java in Setup Wizard in Android 5.1.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G and 6.x before 2016-02-01 does not properly check for device provisioning, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the Factory Reset Protection protection mechanism and delete data via unspecified vectors, aka internal bug 25476219.

The interceptKeyBeforeDispatching function in policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager.java in Setup Wizard in Android 5.1.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G and 6.0 before 2016-02-01 does not properly check for setup completion, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the Factory Reset Protection protection mechanism and delete data via unspecified vectors, aka internal bug 25229538.

Integer overflow in the BnCrypto::onTransact function in media/libmedia/ICrypto.cpp in libmediaplayerservice in Android 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information, and consequently bypass an unspecified protection mechanism, by triggering an improper size calculation, as demonstrated by obtaining Signature or SignatureOrSystem access, aka internal bug 25800375.

media/libmedia/SoundPool.cpp in mediaserver in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G, and 6.x before 2016-02-01 mishandles locking requirements, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, as demonstrated by obtaining Signature or SignatureOrSystem access, aka internal bug 25781119.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the wifi_cleanup function in bcmdhd/wifi_hal/wifi_hal.cpp in Wi-Fi in Android 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows attackers to gain privileges by leveraging access to the local physical environment during execution of a crafted application, aka internal bug 25753768.

Integer overflow in the getCoverageFormat12 function in CmapCoverage.cpp in the Minikin library in Android 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G and 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (continuous rebooting) via an application that triggers loading of a crafted TTF font, aka internal bug 25645298.

The get_build_id function in elf_utils.cpp in Debuggerd in Android 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that mishandles a Desc Size element in an ELF Note, aka internal bug 25187394.

The Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver in the kernel in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G, and 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka internal bug 25344453.

The performance event manager for Qualcomm ARM processors in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G, and 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka internal bug 25773204.

The NuPlayer::GenericSource::notifyPreparedAndCleanup function in media/libmediaplayerservice/nuplayer/GenericSource.cpp in mediaserver in Android 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G and 6.x before 2016-02-01 improperly manages mDrmManagerClient objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted media file, aka internal bug 25070434.

libstagefright in mediaserver in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G, and 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted media file that triggers a large memory allocation in the (1) SoftMPEG4Encoder or (2) SoftVPXEncoder component, aka internal bug 25812794.

The Broadcom Wi-Fi driver in the kernel in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G, and 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted wireless control message packets, aka internal bug 25306181.

The Broadcom Wi-Fi driver in the kernel in Android 4.x before 4.4.4, 5.x before 5.1.1 LMY49G, and 6.x before 2016-02-01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted wireless control message packets, aka internal bug 25662029.

The join_session_keyring function in security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 mishandles object references in a certain error case, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (integer overflow and use-after-free) via crafted keyctl commands.
