Remote code execution via parser_infe heap overflow
Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Heap-based buffer overflow in libsimba on Samsung Mobile Devices Q(10), R(11), and S(12) allows remote attackers to execute code. The parser_infe function inadequately validates input before writing into heap storage, permitting an out-of-bounds write that corrupts memory. The network path requires neither authentication nor user interaction, and successful exploitation can compromise device data and availability through attacker-controlled code.
