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 · uneditedOut-of-bounds read in applying connection point in Samsung Notes prior to version 4.4.21.62 allows local attackers to potentially read memory.
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 · high confidenceAn out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Samsung Notes versions prior to 4.4.21.62 within the connection point processing logic. This allows a local attacker with app installation or device access to read arbitrary memory contents, potentially exposing sensitive data.

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 Samsung Notes is installedOn the Samsung device, go to Settings > Apps > Apps list and search for Samsung Notes, or check the app drawer for the Samsung Notes iconAffected if Samsung Notes is not present on the device, then the CVE does not apply
-
Locate the installed version numberIn Settings > Apps > Samsung Notes, tap on App info and view the Version field listed under About phoneAffected if Unable to determine the version number from the device settings
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare the installed version (for example, 4.4.21.40 or 4.4.20.15) to the affected threshold 4.4.21.62. Any version less than 4.4.21.62 is vulnerableAffected if Installed version is less than 4.4.21.62 (for example, 4.4.21.61, 4.4.20.x, or any earlier release)
-
Verify Android package version if availableUse ADB command 'adb shell dumpsys package com.samsung.android.app.notes' to retrieve detailed version information from the package manifestAffected if The package versionCode or versionName is lower than 4.4.21.62
The environment is affected if Samsung Notes is installed with any version lower than 4.4.21.62, as the out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in all prior versions within the connection point processing logic.
