Code execution via undersized JPEG scanline buffer
Published Jun 28, 2025 · Updated Jun 30, 2025
Heap buffer overflow in JOYNEXT MIB3 OI MQB through 0304 allows attackers to execute code via a crafted Bluetooth contact photo. The phone-contact service allocates a 0x4000-byte scanline_buffer, but jpeg_read_scanlines can write as many as 0x7FFF bytes while scaling a wide JPEG. Bluetooth pairing and contact synchronization are required, and successful exploitation runs code as the unprivileged phone user.
