# Android EVS camera HAL: data race lets privileged app run code

A data race in the Android EVS AIDL camera HAL lets concurrent calls from a privileged automotive UID free an object still in use. The freed object's virtual call can then lead to arbitrary code execution inside the hal_evs_default process.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

The vulnerability is a Use-After-Free (UAF) in the EVS AIDL HAL, arising from a data race on an unsynchronized `std::weak_ptr` within `EvsEnumerator::openCamera()`. Specifically, concurrent calls from a privileged UID (e.g., `AID_AUTOMOTIVE_EVS`) can cause a torn `weak_ptr` state, leading to a virtual call through a freed object's vtable at `cameraObj->getCameraInfo(&desc)`. This allows for potential arbitrary code execution within the `hal_evs_default` process.
