Host crash via inverted device-message bounds check
Published Dec 18, 2025 · Updated Dec 18, 2025
Buffer overflow in Genymobile scrcpy 3.3.3 and earlier allows attackers to crash the host application through a connected device. In sc_device_msg_deserialize, an inverted UHID_OUTPUT payload-length comparison accepts a size larger than the buffered message, causing process_msgs to advance past the receiver buffer and sc_read32be to read out of bounds. Exploitation requires a compromised, emulated, or proxied device able to send crafted messages; only a host-process abort or crash has been demonstrated.
