CVE-2022-26092
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper boundary check in Quram Agif library prior to SMR Apr-2022 Release 1 allows arbitrary code execution.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceImproper boundary check in Quram Agif library (image processing library for animated GIFs) allows memory corruption leading to arbitrary code execution. This is a classic buffer overflow or out-of-bounds access vulnerability in GIF parsing logic.

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 Android OS versionGo to Settings > About Phone > Android version, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' via ADB shellAffected if Version is 10.0, 11.0, or 12.0
-
Locate Quram Agif librarySearch for files named 'libagif' or 'quram' in /system/lib or /vendor/lib directories using 'find /system/lib -name "*agif*"' via ADB shellAffected if The library file exists on the device (indicating the vulnerable component is present)
-
Verify GIF processing is in useCheck if apps with GIF processing capabilities are installed or if the device uses the Quram library for image rendering. Use 'dumpsys package' to list packages or inspect app permissions for media/image access.Affected if Applications that parse animated GIFs are active on the device, as exploitation requires processing a malicious GIF file
A device is affected if it runs Android 10.0, 11.0, or 12.0 AND contains the Quram Agif library, meaning processing a crafted GIF file could trigger the boundary check flaw.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedApply Samsung SMR (Security Maintenance Release) April-2022 or later which includes the patched Quram Agif library. Until patched, avoid processing untrusted GIF files with vulnerable devices.
SMR Apr-2022 Release 1
- Verify your current Samsung device model and Android version by going to Settings > About Phone
- Check your current security patch level at Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Security patch level
- Check if your Samsung device model has received the SMR Apr-2022 Release 1 security update by visiting security.samsungmobile.com
- If the update is available, initiate the update by going to Settings > Software Update > Download and install
- After updating, verify the security patch level shows the April 2022 security update or later
