Details: The specific flaw exists within the parsing of the DHCP options in a DHCP ACK packet. The vulnerability is triggered when the LENGTH of an option, when added to the current read position, exceeds the actual length of the DHCP options buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code on the device. [ZDI-15-093]
This remote code execution vulnerability executes code as the dhcp user which limit's its severity [citation-needed]
Details: Drake said that the vulnerabilities can be exploited by sending a single multimedia text message to an unpatched Android smartphone. While the exploit is deadly, in some cases, where phones parse the attack code prior to the message being opened, the exploits are silent and the user would have little chance of defending their data.

Stagefright is the media playback service for Android, introduced in Android 2.2 (Froyo). Stagefright in versions of Android prior to 5.1.1_r9 may contain multiple vulnerabilities, including several integer overflows, which may allow a remote attacker to execute code on the device.

Details: Meet Stagefright 2.0, a set of two vulnerabilities that manifest when processing specially crafted MP3 audio or MP4 video files. The first vulnerability (in libutils) impacts almost every Android device since version 1.0 released in 2008. We found methods to trigger that vulnerability in devices running version 5.0 and up using the second vulnerability (in libstagefright). Google assigned CVE-2015-6602 to vulnerability in libutils.
