Service interruption via untrusted NPU header pointer
Published Nov 4, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Untrusted pointer dereference in the NPU driver in Samsung Exynos 1380 through July 2025 allows remote attackers to interrupt service. The copy_ncp_header function dereferences the untrusted src_hdr pointer while copying an NCP header. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the published impact is limited to reduced availability.
