Description

drivers/misc/qseecom.c in the QSEECOM driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, does not validate certain offset, length, and base values within an ioctl call, which allows attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted application.

/*
 *              CVE-2014-4322 exploit  for Nexus Android 5.0
 *
 *              author:  retme   retme7@gmail.com
 *              website: retme.net
 *
 *				 The exploit must be excuted as system privilege and specific  SELinux  context.
 *				 If exploit successed,you will gain root privilege and "kernel" SELinux  context
 *
 *              bug info:
 *              	https://www.codeaurora.org/projects/security-advisories/memory-corruption-qseecom-driver-cve-2014-4322
 *
 *				 how to build:
 *
			 				    create an  Android.mk as follow:

									include $(CLEAR_VARS)
									include $(CLEAR_VARS)
									LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= ./msm.c \
																				 ./shellcode.S

									LOCAL_MODULE:= exploit
									#LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += $(common_includes)
									LOCAL_CPPFLAGS += -DDEBUG
									LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DDEBUG
									LOCAL_LDLIBS += -L$(SYSROOT)/usr/lib -llog

									include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)
									include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)

								create Application.mk as follow:

									APP_ABI := armeabi
									APP_PLATFORM := android-8
									APP_PIE:= true

								use  ndk-build to build the project

				usage:

							 run  exploit as  system privilege,with SELinux context  such as "keystore","vold","drmserver","mediaserver","surfaceflinger"
 *
 *							 If exploit successed,you will gain root privilege and "kernel" SELinux  context
 *
 *
 *                                           */
