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 · unedited
A vulnerability was discovered in Samsung Mobile Processors Exynos 850, Exynos 1080, Exynos 2100, Exynos 2200, Exynos 1280, Exynos 1380, Exynos 1330, and Exynos W930 where they do not properly check length of the data, which can lead to a Denial of Service.

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 confidence

Samsung Exynos mobile processors (models 850, 1080, 2100, 2200, 1280, 1380, 1330, and W930) contain a vulnerability in the firmware where input data length is not properly validated, which can be exploited to cause a Denial of Service condition.

MitigationApply security firmware updates provided by Samsung through device OEM/carrier channels. Users should ensure their devices are running the latest security patch level.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify your device's processor model
    Check your device settings under 'About Phone' or 'About Device' section, or use a system information app to view the chipset/processor details
    Affected if The processor is a Samsung Exynos model 850, 1080, 2100, 2200, 1280, 1380, 1330, or W930
  2. Confirm the Exynos model matches CVE-affected list
    Verify the processor is specifically one of these: Exynos 850, 1080, 2100, 2200, 1280, 1380, 1330, or W930
    Affected if Your device uses any of these eight Exynos processors
  3. Check if input processing feature is enabled
    This vulnerability exists in the firmware's input handling for data processing. The flaw is present in all firmware versions regardless of configuration
    Affected if The device runs any firmware version on the affected Exynos models (all versions are vulnerable)
  4. Verify the security patch level
    Check Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Security patch level to see your current firmware update status
    Affected if The security patch level is earlier than the date Samsung released the fix for this vulnerability (CVE-2024-27360)

Your device is affected if it contains any of these Exynos processors (850, 1080, 2100, 2200, 1280, 1380, 1330, W930) and has not received the vendor security update that addresses this input validation flaw.
