Video decoding crash via unchecked buffer write
Published May 9, 2023 · Updated Jan 28, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in Unisoc H.265 codec firmware allows attackers to crash video decoding on affected Android devices. The firmware processes H.265 data without a required bounds check, allowing a write outside the intended buffer. Reaching the flaw requires local H.265 decoding; the documented consequence is service interruption, with no reported data disclosure or modification.
