Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2015-1538 is an integer-overflow vulnerability in Android libstagefright's SampleTable::setSampleToChunkParams function in SampleTable.cpp. Malformed MP4 data containing crafted atoms can cause an unchecked multiplication to overflow while the framework processes sample-to-chunk parameters. The resulting memory-corruption condition can permit remote arbitrary-code execution on Android versions prior to 5.1.1 build LMY48I.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (Stagefright_CVE-2015-1538-1_Exploit.py) and a README. The script generates a malicious MP4 file that exploits CVE-2015-1538, an integer overflow in Android's libstagefright MP4 'stsc' atom handling. The exploit is specifically tailored for the Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0.4 and is not generic. It constructs a ROP chain and ARM shellcode to open a reverse TCP shell to an attacker-controlled host (default 31.3.3.7:12345). The README provides context, limitations, and expected results. The main attack vector is delivery of the crafted MP4 file, potentially via MMS or other media-handling channels. The exploit provides a reverse shell as the 'media' user, granting significant access to device resources. The repository is operational, with a working payload, but is not weaponized for broad use.
