CVE-2022-24925

Permanent device denial of service

Published Feb 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Improper input validation in SettingsProvider on Samsung Mobile Devices before Android 12 allows privileged attackers to disable devices permanently. Samsung has not published which SettingsProvider input is accepted or how processing that input renders the device unusable. Exploitation requires privileged access and causes permanent device-level service interruption rather than a transient application crash.
