CVE-2024-34588
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 input validation혻in parsing RTCP SR packet in librtp.so prior to SMR Jul-2024 Release 1 allows remote attackers to trigger temporary denial of service. User interaction is required for triggering this vulnerability.
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 input validation in the RTCP SR (Sender Report) packet parsing routine in librtp.so allows remote attackers to send specially crafted RTCP packets that cause a denial of service. The vulnerability requires user interaction, likely meaning the target must be processing RTP streams for exploitation.

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 versionGo to Settings > About Phone > Android version, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' via ADB shellAffected if The version listed is 12.0, 13.0, or 14.0 on a Samsung device
-
Locate librtp.so librarySearch the filesystem for librtp.so - common paths include /system/lib/ or /vendor/lib/ - use 'find / -name librtp.so 2>/dev/null' via ADB shellAffected if The library exists on the device and the Android version is 12.0, 13.0, or 14.0
-
Identify apps using RTP/RTCPReview running processes or installed apps that handle VoIP, video conferencing, streaming media, or SIP-based communication - check via 'ps -A' or monitor network activityAffected if An app actively processing RTP streams is running on an affected Android version
A Samsung Android device on version 12.0, 13.0, or 14.0 with librtp.so present and an app actively processing RTP/RTCP streams is vulnerable to this issue.
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 · scopedUpdate librtp.so to the SMR July-2024 Release 1 or later which contains the fix for proper input validation in RTCP SR packet parsing.
SMR Jul-2024 Release 1 (or later security patch level)
- 1. Navigate to Settings on the Samsung Android device
- 2. Go to Software Update
- 3. Tap Download and install to check for available updates
- 4. If the July 2024 SMR (Security Maintenance Release) update is available, download and install it
- 5. Verify the device has updated to the July 2024 patch level or later by checking Settings > About phone > Software information > Security patch level
