Phone termination via manipulated packet dereference
Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Nov 20, 2024
NULL pointer dereference in SS on affected Samsung Exynos processors and modems allows attackers to terminate a mobile phone via a manipulated packet. The SS component dereferences a NULL pointer while processing the packet, but Samsung has not disclosed the specific parser, field, or unchecked operation that produces the NULL value. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access, no authentication or user interaction, and causes abnormal phone termination without reported data disclosure or modification.
