CVE-2023-29731Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Persistent startup crash via unbounded preference writes

Published May 30, 2023 · Updated Jan 13, 2025

Denial of service in SoLive 1.6.14 through 1.6.20 for Android allows attackers to force a persistent startup crash via an exposed content provider. The exported com.matchtech.solive.TTMultiProvider provider accepts repeated unauthenticated insert operations into a SharedPreferences file without limiting the accumulated data size. A malicious Android app can fill adjust_preferences with attacker-controlled entries; SoLive loads the oversized file at startup, exhausts memory, and crashes on every launch.
