CVE-2019-2107 - looks scary. Still remember Stagefright and PNG bugs vulns .... With CVE-2019-2107 the decoder/codec runs under mediacodec user and with properly "crafted" video (with tiles enabled - ps_pps->i1_tiles_enabled_flag) you can possibly do RCE. The codec affected is HVEC (a.k.a H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2) #exploit #rce #android #stagefright #cve

Error while decoding frame!
This stops it when the tile width is bigger than allowed: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/meson-ports/ffmpeg/blob/ebf648d490448d511b5fe970d76040169e65ef74/libavcodec/hevc_ps.c#L1526

So the check are there.

On stock/google Andoird I think it will use libhevc, not ffmpeg, when using VideoPlayer.

https://www.droidviews.com/enjoy-hevc-h-265-video-playback-on-android/

I have the google codec:

OMX.google.hevc.decoder

I am wondering however why it does not crash ....

Attaching the video (videopoc.mp4) that should trigger this condition:

if (value >= ps_sps->i2_pic_wd_in_ctb - start)
+ {
+ return IHEVCD_INVALID_HEADER;
+ }
Maybe somebody have more luck.

Whoooo hooo .... made it :)

Proof of concept is in hevc-crash-poc.mp4, other videos are for non andoird players.

Hvec-"fright" is possible. You can own the mobile by viewing a video with payload. In my example I didn't include real payload.
