Stack-based buffer overflow via improper size check
Published Dec 5, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Stack overflow in softsimd on Samsung Mobile Devices with Android 14 allows local users to corrupt process memory. Softsimd performs an inadequate size check before writing attacker-controlled input to a stack buffer; Samsung has not disclosed the function or input format. Local access is required, and successful exploitation can alter data or interrupt the affected process without user interaction.
