dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify device is a Samsung Android deviceCheck device manufacturer and model in Settings > About Phone > Manufacturer (should be Samsung)Affected if Device is not Samsung (this CVE is Samsung-specific)
-
Check Android versionGo to Settings > About Phone > Android version. Confirm version is 12.0, 13.0, or 14.0Affected if Android version is 12.0, 13.0, or 14.0 (vulnerable versions)
-
Check Security Patch LevelGo to Settings > About Phone > Security patch level. Note the date shown (format is typically YYYY-MM-01)Affected if Security patch level is earlier than July 2024 Release 1 (e.g., June 2024 or earlier). The vulnerable condition exists when patch level is prior to SMR Jul-2024 Release 1.
-
Confirm SystemUI component version (optional)Access Settings > Apps > SystemUI > App info. Check the package version if visible. Compare against Samsung's patched SystemUI version in the Jul-2024 releaseAffected if SystemUI version matches pre-patch release dates and patch cannot be verified through security update level
A Samsung device running Android 12.0, 13.0, or 14.0 with a Security Patch Level earlier than the Samsung SMR July-2024 Release 1 is affected by this vulnerability.
