Heap Overwrite Vulnerability in Samsung Exynos Mobile Processors

CVE-2024-27372

What is CVE-2024-27372?

A vulnerability has been identified in Samsung's Exynos mobile processors, specifically affecting the Exynos 980, 850, 1280, 1380, and 1330. The issue arises in the slsi_nan_config_get_nl_params() function, where an absence of input validation checks on the incoming variable disc_attr->infrastructure_ssid_len from user space can lead to improper handling of memory allocation. This oversight may allow for heap overflow exploitation, potentially compromising system integrity and security. Users and developers are advised to review Samsung's security updates for necessary mitigations.
