CVE-2024-34614

Local code execution via libsmat.so out-of-bounds write

Published Aug 7, 2024 · Updated Aug 8, 2024

Out-of-bounds write in libsmat.so in Samsung Mobile Devices before SMR Aug-2024 Release 1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code. The library processes insufficiently validated input and writes beyond a heap-buffer boundary; Samsung has not disclosed the affected function or input format. Reachability requires local access to a Samsung device running Android 12, 13, or 14, and successful exploitation executes code in the library's context.
