Summary ======= The OpenCORE AAC decoder (AOSP external/opencore, codecsv2/audio/aac/dec) is abandoned upstream but is still vendored and built by multiple projects, most notably Samsung's TizenRT (a widely-deployed embedded RTOS). It contains memory-safety defects of the out-of-bounds-write and wild-pointer class, reachable from untrusted media (an AAC frame is attacker-controlled). I request a CVE ID for this issue.

What I executed vs. what I read — for transparency: - I BUILT and RAN the same decoder (via cherry-embedded/CherryAVP) under AddressSanitizer and reproduced a wild-pointer SEGV in gettns, and an out-of-bounds READ in trans4mfreq2timefxp. Those two are execution-confirmed. - The out-of-bounds WRITE in getdse (below) is confirmed by code review and source inspection only, because it is an intra-union write that ASan cannot observe. I state this plainly so a reader can weigh it.

Affected defect D — out-of-bounds write (CWE-787), in getdse (code review) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- File: external/audiocodec/aacdec/getdse.c (TizenRT) / codecsv2/audio/aac/dec/src/getdse.cpp (AOSP) Line: 223 (TizenRT) / 205 (AOSP)

if (count == (1 << LENDCNT) - 1) / LENDCNT = 8 / count += esccount; / LENDESC = 8, so up to 255 + 255 = 510 / ... for (i = count; i != 0; i--) (pDataStreamBytes++) = (Char) get9nlessbits(LENBYTE, pInputStream);

The destination is Char datastreambytes[(1<<LENDCNT)+1] (257 bytes) in stdecintfile.h. count is an 8-bit field in the input bitstream (with an 8-bit escape that adds a second field), so it can reach 510. The loop writes count bytes with no bounds check, overflowing the 257-byte field by up to 253 bytes into the surrounding union. In TizenRT this is reached from pvmp4audiodecoderframe.c, case IDDSE, with pVars->share.datastreambytes.

Affected defect C — wild pointer, in gettns (execution-confirmed) ----------------------------------------------------------------- File: external/audiocodec/aacdec/gettns.c (TizenRT) / .../gettns.cpp (AOSP) Line: 482 (TizenRT) / 464 (AOSP)

pFilt->startcoef = SCALEFACTORBANDOFFSET(tempInt);

tempInt is derived from bitstream fields (MINIMUM(top, tnsbands) after decrementing top by an attacker-controlled value), and SCALEFACTORBANDOFFSET(x) indexes pSFBtop[(x)-1]. A crafted frame can drive tempInt out of range, indexing outside the scale-factor-band table. Reachable via getics.c.

Vendors / reachability ====================== - Samsung TizenRT: vendors the full decoder under external/audiocodec/aacdec. external/audiocodec/Makefile: CSRCS += $(notdir $(wildcard ./aacdec/.c)); Make.defs: CONFIGUREDEXT += audiocodec when CONFIGAUDIOCODEC=y. CONFIGAUDIOCODEC=y is enabled in real TizenRT board configs (build/configs/ artik053/avstest, artik055s/audio, cy4390x/audio, rtl8730e/). It is additionally wired into the media framework: framework/src/media/Decoder.cpp and framework/src/media/codec/audiodecoder.cpp call PVMP4AudioDecoderInitLibrary, fed by untrusted FileInputDataSource.cpp / HttpInputDataSource.cpp in the media player. So attacker-controlled AAC media reaches the buggy code in a shipped embedded device OS. Defects D and C are present UNPATCHED here. - AOSP source of truth (platformexternalopencore): defect D is present unpatched at getdse.cpp:205; the EIGHTSHORT window fix (a different, earlier off-by-one) IS present, but D is not fixed. - bouffalolab/bouffalosdk: ships a prebuilt RISC-V library components/multimedia/aacdec/libaacdec.a (version string 'aacdecv1.2.0') that contains the same objects and decoder API, i.e. the same OpenCORE decoder and the same defects. - cherry-embedded/CherryAVP: vendors the same code; I built and crashed this.

Disclosure timeline =================== I notified Samsung TizenRT on 2026-09-09 from a direct security-reporting address (dsprodsec () samsung com) about the unpatched out-of-bounds write and wild pointer in the vendored decoder, and there has been no reply. I am publishing this advisory publicly without waiting further on that notification. I have not withheld any reproduction detail in this report beyond the identity of the specific AAC frames; I can supply the gettns SEGV trace and the getdse source-level trace on request.

Honest severity / scope ======================= The defects are of the memory-corruption / code-execution class and are High severity as a class. Scope caveat: OpenCORE is a legacy AAC decoder (Android 2.x-4.x era). Modern Android uses external/aac (FDK) and does NOT build this code. So the affected hosts are the embedded vendors that still vendor OpenCORE — TizenRT, entry-level Android/embedded BSPs, and SDKs like bouffalosdk — not modern smartphones. Tens of millions of IoT/embedded devices are plausible; this is a legacy-embedded class, not a modern-mobile one.

Recommended fix =============== Bound count against the destination size before the write loop in getdse, and validate the tempInt/tnsbands range before the SCALEFACTORBANDOFFSET index in gettns. Since the code is upstream-abandoned, the practical fix is in each vendoring project's copy, plus a note that the module should not be re-introduced.

I can supply the crafted input and the gettns SEGV trace, and the source line-level trace for the getdse write, on request.
