Path Traversal Vulnerability in lghashstorageserver binder service on LG G4

The lghashstorageserver binder service (/system/bin/lghashstorageserver) implementation on the LG G4 is vulnerable to path traversal, allowing an app to read and write 0x20 bytes from any file in the context of the lghashstorageserver. A proof-of-concept (PoC) is provided which reads from /proc/self/attr/current for the lghashstorageserver.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the lghashstorageserver binder service is not vulnerable to path traversal.

The lghashstorageserver binder service (/system/bin/lghashstorageserver) 
implementation on the LG G4 is vulnerable to path traversal, allowing an
app to read and write 0x20 bytes from any file in the context of the
lghashstorageserver.

See attached for a PoC which reads from /proc/self/attr/current for the 
lghashstorageserver.
