Google Android - '/system/bin/sdcard' Stack Buffer Overflow (PoC)

Android: Stack-buffer-overflow in /system/bin/sdcard

There's an integer overflow issue in get_node_path_locked, which results in 
a buffer overflow. For all of the calling paths, this is going to overflow a 
stack buffer in the parent function:

static ssize_t get_node_path_locked(struct node* node, char* buf, size_t bufsize) {
    const char* name;
    size_t namelen;
    if (node->graft_path) {
        name = node->graft_path;
        namelen = node->graft_pathlen;
    } else if (node->actual_name) {
        name = node->actual_name;
        namelen = node->namelen;
    } else {
        name = node->name;
        namelen = node->namelen;
    }

    // when bufsize == namelen + 1
    if (bufsize < namelen + 1) {
        return -1;
    }

    ssize_t pathlen = 0;
    if (node->parent && node->graft_path == NULL) {
        // bufsize - namelen - 2 overflows to SIZE_MAX
        pathlen = get_node_path_locked(node->parent, buf, bufsize - namelen - 2);
        if (pathlen < 0) {
            return -1;
        }
        buf[pathlen++] = '/';
    }

    memcpy(buf + pathlen, name, namelen + 1); /* include trailing \0 */
    return pathlen + namelen;
}

This can be triggered by a malicious app creating a directory structure in
/sdcard with a total path length longer than PATH_MAX, which can be achieved by
creating a directory heirarchy starting with several directories with short 
names and later renaming these parent directories to have longer names. See the
attached POC, which can be run from the 'untrusted_app' selinux domain.

It appears that the overflow is close enough to the bottom of the stack that 
with a large overflow we can corrupt thread data that is used before the stack 
cookie is checked, suggesting that this issue is possibly exploitable despite 
the presence of stack cookies.
