CVE-2023-30648
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 · uneditedStack out-of-bounds write vulnerability in IpcRxImeiUpdateImeiNoti of RILD priro to SMR Jul-2023 Release 1 cause a denial of service on the system.
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 confidenceStack out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the IpcRxImeiUpdateImeiNoti function of RILD (Radio Interface Layer Daemon) in Samsung mobile devices prior to SMR Jul-2023 Release 1 allows writing beyond stack buffer boundaries, potentially causing denial of service.

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.
-
Verify device is a Samsung mobile deviceCheck manufacturer via Settings > About phone > Manufacturer, or run `getprop ro.product.manufacturer` / `getprop ro.product.brand` in ADB shellAffected if Manufacturer is not Samsung (vulnerability only affects Samsung devices)
-
Confirm Android version is 11.0, 12.0, or 13.0Check Settings > About phone > Android version, or run `getprop ro.build.version.release` in ADB shellAffected if Android version matches exactly 11.0, 12.0, or 13.0
-
Check Samsung SMR (Security Maintenance Release) versionRun `getprop ro.build.version.sem` in ADB shell to retrieve SMR version string; alternatively check Build number in Settings > Software informationAffected if SMR version is earlier than Jul-2023 Release 1 (format typically shows as SMRxxx where lower numbers indicate older releases)
-
Verify RILD daemon is present and runningRun `ps -A | grep rild` in ADB shell to confirm RILD process is activeAffected if RILD daemon is running (the vulnerability exists in this component)
Device is affected if it is a Samsung mobile device running Android 11.0, 12.0, or 13.0 with an SMR version earlier than Jul-2023 Release 1.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 security update SMR Jul-2023 Release 1 or later to address the vulnerability in RILD. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict device access to trusted networks to reduce exposure.
SMR Jul-2023 Release 1 or later
- Check for and apply the Samsung security update for July 2023 (SMR Jul-2023 Release 1) or later on your Samsung Android device
- On most Samsung devices: Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install
- Ensure the device is charged and connected to Wi-Fi before initiating the update
- After updating, verify the security patch level in Settings > About phone > Software information shows the July 2023 security patch or later
