description

Affected Samsung Semiconductor Exynos processors and modems mishandle a length field in NAS messages, which can cause memory corruption. An attacker must be able to cause an affected device or modem to process a malformed NAS message; the evidence does not specify further access or authentication preconditions.

mitigation

Install the September 2026 security update provided for affected Exynos-based devices and modem products. Obtain and apply current device, modem, and carrier updates where applicable.
