CVE-2026-21048Network attack vector

Remote memory corruption via malformed DNG parsing

Published Jul 10, 2026 · Updated Jul 10, 2026

Out-of-bounds write in Samsung Mobile Devices before SMR Jul-2026 Release 1 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory via DNG parsing. The libimagecodec.media.quram.so DNG parser inadequately validates input before a write, allowing the write to extend beyond the intended memory region. No privileges or user interaction are required, but Samsung has not disclosed the DNG delivery path or the additional attack condition.
