Local denial of service via unchecked buffer write
Published May 9, 2023 · Updated Jan 28, 2025
Classic buffer overflow in the soter service on UNISOC chipsets running Android 10 through 13 allows local users to cause denial of service. The service omits a bounds check and writes beyond a destination buffer when the supplied data exceeds the available space. Triggering the overflow requires System-level execution privileges, and the documented consequence is limited to local service interruption.
