merge conflict: Problem is that readFromMemory() is not available in Replicant's Skia, so I kept the unflatten function in there.

merge conflict: Same as above, working around missing readFromMemory()

CVE-2015-3858: Elevation of Privilege vulnerability in SMS enables notification bypass.
It seems that Replicant is not affected by this. android.permission.SEND_SMS_NO_CONFIRMATION was renamed to android.permission.SEND_RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE in API level 18 so we should be safe.

Thanks a lot for providing that patchset!

I've merged them all to my local repo and successfully compiled/reflashed/tested Replicant 4.2 on my i9100.

I've attached your patchset again, with the suffix -reviewed. I've modified the header of your patches inside of this attachment a bit. I added a Signed-off-by: {'From:' contact of the originally patch header}, followed by your Signed-off-by/Tested-by line, finalized with my Tested-by line. Hope that's ok?
Additionally I added one left patch (0009-Externally-reported-Moderate-severity-vulnerability.patch) in that reuploaded patchset.

I've looked through the September patches, provided by Google (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-security-updates/1M7qbSvACjo) a bit and completed the overview as follows:

CVE-2015-3858: Elevation of Privilege vulnerability in SMS enables notification bypass.

ANDROID-22314646: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/opt/telephony/+/df31d37d285dde9911b699837c351aed2320b586
Affected versions: 5.1 and below
Result: the patch wasn't found in the patchset, so I added it as: 0009-Externally-reported-Moderate-severity-vulnerability.patch

Including that patch is imho not a good idea. I already wrote:

It seems that Replicant is not affected by this. android.permission.SEND_SMS_NO_CONFIRMATION was renamed to >android.permission.SEND_RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE in API level 18 so we should be safe.

So if this patch is included in the current Replicant 4.2 code, it checks for a permission string that does not exist. This would actually introduce the vulnerability in Replicant.

Please correct me if I'm wrong!
