Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if Samsung Video Player is installedUse the Android package manager to list installed packages: 'adb shell pm list packages | grep samsung.videoplayer' or 'adb shell pm list packages | grep video' to find the exact package name, then verify presence in the app list.Affected if The package com.samsung.android.video.player or similar Samsung Video Player package is found on the device
-
Determine installed version of Samsung Video PlayerRun 'adb shell dumpsys package <package_name>' to retrieve version information, or check the app version in Settings > Apps > Samsung Video Player > Version.Affected if The displayed version number is less than 7.3.15.30
-
Compare version against affected rangeDocument the exact version number obtained and compare it numerically to 7.3.15.30 - versions like 7.3.14.x, 7.2.x, 6.x would all be below the patched release.Affected if Installed version is any build prior to 7.3.15.30 (for example, 7.3.14, 7.3.10, 6.5.2, etc.)
The device is affected if Samsung Video Player is installed with any version number lower than 7.3.15.30, as that version introduced the fix for the privilege management flaw.
