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 if Samsung Notes is installedOpen device Settings > Apps and search for 'Samsung Notes', or use ADB: adb shell pm list packages | grep samsung.android.app.snotesAffected if Samsung Notes is not found on the device - not affected
-
Identify the installed Samsung Notes versionGo to Settings > Apps > Samsung Notes > App info > Version, or use ADB: adb shell dumpsys package samsung.android.app.snotes | grep versionNameAffected if Unable to determine version - status unknown
-
Compare version against the vulnerable rangeReview the version number obtained from the previous step. The affected range is any version prior to 4.4.21.62Affected if Version number is less than 4.4.21.62 (for example, 4.4.20.15, 4.4.10.0, etc.) - affected
-
Confirm paragraph append feature is presentOpen Samsung Notes and verify the application allows creating or editing notes with paragraph functionalityAffected if The app is installed and supports paragraph operations - the vulnerable code path exists in affected versions
The device is affected if Samsung Notes is installed with a version number lower than 4.4.21.62.
