The November 2023 issue of the Samsung Semiconductor Security Bulletin contains this vulnerability as CVE-2023-41111. Vulnerability Details Background: Data Block Format and Re-assembly in RLC In GPRS, an LLC layer PDU can be up to 1560 bytes long, but the maximum size for an RLC data block is 22/32/38/52 for the GPRS coding schemes CS-1/2/3/4, respectively.

We have identified several new heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Samsung’s baseband implementation (mainly used in Exynos chipsets): three different heap buffer overflows in the same function, to be precise. The most critical of these vulnerabilities can be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution in the baseband runtime. The vulnerabilities we are disclosing in this advisory affected a wide range of Samsung devices, including phones on the newest Exynos chipsets. The vulnerability report covering all three that we reported together was assigned CVE-2023-41112, which was published in the 2023 November issue of Samsung Semiconductor Security Bulletin. Vulnerability Details Background: RLC Data Block Formats in GPRS vs E-GPRS In GPRS, an LLC layer PDU can be up to 1560 bytes long, but the maximum size for an RLC data block is between 22 and 52 bytes for GPRS, depending on the Coding Scheme used (22/32/38/52 for the GPRS coding schemes CS-1/2/3/4, respectively).

The vulnerability we are disclosing in this advisory affected a wide range of Samsung devices, including phones on the newest Exynos chipsets. The June 2023 issue of the Samsung Mobile Security Bulletin contains this vulnerability as CVE-2023-21517. Vulnerability Details Layer 3 LTE NAS messages are composed of various Information Elements and the Exynos modem implementation defines dedicated parser functions for each IE type. The vulnerability is within the parser function of the Traffic Flow Template IE (3GPP TS 24.

We have identified a new stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Samsung’s Android Radio Interface Layer implementation. The vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious (compromised) baseband runtime to achieve denial of service in Android in the radio context. The vulnerability we are disclosing in this advisory affected a wide range of Samsung devices, including phones on the newest Exynos chipsets. The July 2023 issue of the Samsung Mobile Security Bulletin contains this vulnerability as CVE-2023-30644. Vulnerability Details The Exynos vendor RIL implementation, provided by the libsec-ril.so library, exposes an Inter Process Call (IPC) interface to the baseband processor. The baseband processor can use this API through dedicated IPC messages.

There is a memory management and a path traversal vulnerability in the vision DSP kernel driver of Exynos S20 devices. These vulnerabilities can be leveraged by a malicious untrusted application to permanently disable the device until it is factory reset. Vulnerability Details The Exynos DSP driver implements an ioctl call that allows applications to upload a custom model (graph) for the dsp device. The DSP_IOC_LOAD_GRAPH ioctl handler of the /dev/dsp device receives an array of names of the graph binaries to be loaded. The dsp_kernel_alloc function appends the “.elf” extension to the user-supplied name then uses the kernel’s request firmware API to load it from the file system.
