Remote code execution via stack buffer overwrite
Published Sep 4, 2024 · Updated Sep 4, 2024
Stack-based out-of-bounds write in Samsung Notes before 4.4.21.62 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted input. Samsung states that missing input validation permits the stack overwrite but has not disclosed the affected parser, file format, or field. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code with the application's privileges.
