[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Charlie R.:
Removal of Stagefright Libraries.

The Zimperium CVEs focus mostly on the mp4 codec:

CVE-2015-1538, P0006, ‘stsc’ MP4 Atom Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution

CVE-2015-1538, P0004, ‘ctts’ MP4 Atom Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution

CVE-2015-1538, P0004, ‘stts’ MP4 Atom Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution

CVE-2015-1538, P0004, ‘stss’ MP4 Atom Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution

CVE-2015-1539, P0007, ‘esds’ MP4 Atom Integer Underflow Remote Code Execution

CVE-2015-3827, P0008, ‘covr’ MP4 Atom Integer Underflow Remote Code Execution

CVE-2015-3826, P0009, 3GPP Metadata Buffer Overread

CVE-2015-3828, P0010, 3GPP Integer Underflow Remote Code Execution

CVE-2015-3824, P0011, ‘tx3g’ MP4 Atom Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution

CVE-2015-3829, P0012, ‘covr’ MP4 Atom Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution

I have disabled Stagefright in build.prop. Running the "getprop" command, I do not see a number of the settings that have been recommended here (but what I found, I disabled).

Bearing the mp4 focus in mind, I have also removed all permissions on the Stagefright video codecs (h.264 and WebM as well). This has not impacted the Zimperium scanner, but any applications attempting to dlopen() these libraries will crash.

I was rather concerned about a boot loop. I should get a test phone and try removing all of these.
