CVE-2022-26099Network attack vector

Remote memory disclosure via unvalidated parser input

Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Null pointer dereference in Samsung Mobile Devices Q(10), R(11), and S(12) allows remote attackers to read out-of-bounds memory. The libsimba parser_infe function fails to validate input properly before dereferencing a null pointer and reading beyond a memory boundary. Exploitation is unauthenticated and network-reachable but requires high-complexity conditions; the documented consequence is memory disclosure only.
