CVE-2020-14125Public exploit

Payment-service crash via unchecked session concatenation

Published Jun 8, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Heap overflow in Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 9T MIUI before 2022.01.26 allows local users to crash the Soter trusted app. The initSigh handler concatenates an attacker-controlled AuthKey alias and challenge into a fixed-size session-ID buffer without checking their lengths, enabling a heap overwrite. An unprivileged Android application can reach the handler through the exported SoterService without user interaction, interrupting the trusted payment service.
