CVE-2026-119738: Amlogic DroidLogic SubTitleService infinite loop in VobSub decoder

CVE-2026-119738 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-11-02

The DroidLogic SubTitleService is a subtitle processing component in Amlogic-based Android TV boxes that parses video subtitle files. An infinite loop vulnerability in the VobSub decoder allows attackers to send crafted subtitle data over the network or via malicious files, causing the decoder to consume 100% CPU indefinitely and render the device unresponsive—a denial of service attack requiring no authentication.

Technologies: Nexbox A95X. Vendors: Nexbox.

Technical details

The get_vob_spu() function in libsub_vob contains an infinite loop triggered by mismatched length fields in VobSub subtitle packets. Attackers can exploit this via unauthenticated network access to tcp/10100 (the SubTitleService listener) or by loading a malicious .sub file locally. The vulnerable code fails to exit when length validation fails, causing indefinite CPU spinning with no authentication or user interaction required.
