Sony Smart TV Bug Allows Remote Access, Root Privileges
#1
Quote:The most serious of the vulnerabilities is the command-injection (CVE-2018-16593) bug, which is tied to a proprietary Sony application called Photo Sharing Plus. The app allows users to share multimedia content from their phones or tablets via Sony TVs.

Similar to the previous vulnerability, the other two Sony Bravia bugs are also tied to Sony’s Photo Sharing Plus application, but are rated high severity. The stack buffer overflow (CVE-2018-16595) is a “memory corruption vulnerability that results from insufficient size checking of user input,” Loi wrote in a technical write up.

The directory-traversal vulnerability (CVE-2018-16594) relates to the way the Photo Sharing Plus app handles file names. “An attacker can upload an arbitrary file with a crafted file name (e.g.: ../../) that can then traverse the whole filesystem,” the researcher wrote.
