The Exynos Seiren Audio driver has a device endpoint (/dev/seiren) that is accessible by either the system user or the audio group (such as the mediaserver). It was found that the write() implementation for this driver contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that overflow a static global buffer:

static ssize_t esa_write(struct file *file, const char *buffer,
                                        size_t size, loff_t *pos)
{
        struct esa_rtd *rtd = file->private_data;
        unsigned char *ibuf;
…
        ibuf = rtd->ibuf0;
...
        /* receive stream data from user */
        if (copy_from_user(ibuf, buffer, size)) {
                esa_err("%s: failed to copy_from_user\n", __func__);
                goto err;
        }

Note that the user supplied buffer and size parameters are not adequately bounds checked. The destination buffer is fixed size, so memory corruption can occur. A simple proof-of-concept from a privileged shell can be used to trigger the issue (tested on a Samsung S6 Edge):

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/seiren count=5000000
