Go to dashboardThe Alpine iLX-F511 head unit's Android Auto service copies user-supplied data into a fixed-size stack buffer without checking its length. A network-adjacent attacker can overflow that buffer and execute arbitrary code as root, without authentication.

Owners of Alpine iLX-F511 head units that use the Android Auto feature are exposed. The sources describe a network-adjacent attack, so the risk depends on how close an attacker can get to the unit's network link. Units without Android Auto use, or with the feature disabled, are likely not exposed, but the sources do not confirm this.

Alpine iLX-F511 Android Auto Service Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Alpine iLX-F511 devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the Android Auto service. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-29015.
