CVE-2025-49494
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in Samsung Mobile Processor, Wearable Processor, and Modem Exynos 2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 9110, Modem 5123. Mishandling of an 5G NRMM packet leads to a Denial of Service.
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 confidenceA vulnerability in Samsung Exynos processors (2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 9110) and Modem 5123 allows mishandling of 5G NRMM (New Radio Mobility Management) packets to trigger a denial of service condition, potentially causing device crash or service disruption.

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.
-
Identify the device processor modelCheck system information or device specifications to determine the Exynos processor model (e.g., Exynos 2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, or 9110)Affected if The processor matches one of the affected Exynos models (2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 9110)
-
Identify the modem firmware versionCheck modem or baseband firmware information to determine if Modem 5123 is presentAffected if The device uses Modem 5123 firmware
-
Verify 5G NR capability is enabledCheck device network settings or modem status to see if 5G New Radio (NR) functionality is active or can be activatedAffected if 5G NR capability is enabled or available on the device
A device is affected if it contains any of the listed Exynos processors (2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 9110) or Modem 5123, and has 5G NR functionality enabled, since all firmware versions of these components are vulnerable.

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.
From vendor dataApply vendor-supplied firmware updates from Samsung for affected processors and modems; until patches are available, monitor for vendor security advisories.
