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.
Update these devices now.
