CVE-2022-48333Public exploit

Secure World code execution via signed length overflow

Published Jun 26, 2023 · Updated Dec 4, 2024

A buffer overflow in Google Widevine Trusted Application 5.0.0 through 5.1.1 allows local users to crash the trustlet via a crafted command. The drm_verify_keys handler adds an attacker-controlled feature_name_len to the signed persist-prefix length; wraparound passes a 256-byte bound check, and memcpy then writes beyond the heap buffer. Exploitation requires high privileges in Android's Normal World and enables Secure World code execution, critical-file access or modification, or a trustlet crash.
