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
An issue was discovered in Samsung Mobile Processor Exynos 1480 and 2400. The lack of a length check leads to out-of-bounds writes.

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

A missing length validation in Samsung Exynos 1480 and 2400 mobile processors allows an attacker to trigger out-of-bounds memory writes, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied firmware/security updates from Samsung for affected Exynos 1480 and 2400 processors once available; prioritize mobile devices using these chips.

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 the processor model in your device
    Check device specifications in Settings > About Phone > CPU info, or run 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' or 'dmesg | grep -i exynos' via ADB shell to identify the chip
    Affected if The device is found to contain an Exynos 1480 or Exynos 2400 processor
  2. Locate firmware or baseband version
    Access Settings > About Phone > Baseband version, or use 'getprop ro.build.version.baseband' or 'getprop gsm.version.baseband' via ADB shell
    Affected if Firmware/baseband version is returned for an Exynos 1480 or 2400 device (note: all versions of these chips are affected per vendor advisory)
  3. Confirm processor architecture exposure
    Verify the device runs a firmware stack that exposes the affected subsystem - this is inherent to Exynos 1480 and 2400 firmware as the flaw exists in the baseband/processor firmware layer
    Affected if Device utilizes the Exynos 1480 or 2400 SoC firmware stack, as the missing length validation exists at the processor firmware level

A device is affected if it contains a Samsung Exynos 1480 or Exynos 2400 processor, as all firmware versions of these chips contain the missing length validation flaw in the processor firmware.
