Nexbox A95X pppoe_wrapper command injection and subtitle service flaws

Anyone on a Nexbox A95X TV box can take full control.

Summary

The pppoe_wrapper daemon in Amlogic's Android SDK on Nexbox A95X TV boxes lets a local user run commands as root. The box's subtitle service also has an infinite loop and an out-of-bounds write, and one of them is reachable over the network on tcp/10100.

Affected when

  • Nexbox A95X (Amlogic S905/S905X) TV box
  • a local user or app on the box
  • tcp/10100 subtitle service listener (for the subtitle flaws)

What to do

No fixed version is named. Check that your box runs a build newer than NEXBOX-A95X-201606011847 and NEXBOX-A95X-AP6330, and read the vendor's advisory.
