Samsung Devices KNOX Extensions - OTP Service Heap Overflow

/**
Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=935

As a part of the KNOX extensions available on Samsung devices, Samsung provides a new service which allows the generation of OTP tokens.

The tokens themselves are generated in a TrustZone application within the TEE (UID: fffffffff0000000000000000000001e). However, in order to allow easy communication between the Non-secure World (NWD) and the Secure-World (SW) trustlet, a new server has been created. This server, called "otp_server", publishes a binder service called "OTP". 

The service provides a single command via binder (command code 2), which allows a client to provide a buffer from the NWD to be sent to the SW. The requests are serialized to the parcel as a 32-bit length field, followed by the actual request data.

However, "otp_server" does not validate the request length field at all, allowing an attacker to specify any value. This length field is then used in a "memcpy" call in order to copy the data from the parcel to an internal heap-allocated buffer.

On the device I'm working on (SM-G925V), the "OTP" service can be accessed from any user, and the "otp_server" process runs with UID system and context "u:r:otp_server:s0".

I've attached a small PoC which can be used to trigger the overflow. Running it should crash "otp_server".
