CVE-2023-29092

Vulnerability

An issue in the network interface binding mechanism of Samsung Exynos Mobile Processor and Modem chipsets was discovered. Affected models include Exynos Modem 5123, Exynos Modem 5300, Exynos 980, and Exynos 1080 [1]. Improper handling of parameters during the binding process can result in the binding of a wrong resource.

Exploitation

An attacker requires network access to the affected device to trigger the vulnerability. By sending specially crafted network packets or commands that exploit the improper parameter handling, the attacker can cause the binding routine to associate a network interface with an unintended resource.

Impact

Successful exploitation leads to a denial of service (DoS) condition. The system may become unresponsive or crash, preventing legitimate network communications and services from functioning properly.

Mitigation

Samsung has released security updates to address this vulnerability. Users should apply the latest firmware updates for their devices as provided through Samsung's Product Security Update page [1]. No workarounds are documented; applying the official patch is the recommended mitigation.
