CVE-2025-22377 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting multiple Samsung processors, including Mobile Processor, Wearable Processor, and various Exynos and Modem chipsets such as Exynos 980, 990, 850, 1080, 2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 2400, 9110, W920, W930, W1000, and Modem 5123, 5300, 5400. The vulnerability arises from a heap-based out-of-bounds write in the GPRS protocol implementation. Specifically, the flaw is due to a mismatch between the actual length of the payload and the length declared within the payload, leading to improper memory handling. This can cause memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker to manipulate memory contents, which may result in information disclosure or integrity compromise. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating a medium severity level, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and impact limited to confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L/A:N). No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write), a common and critical class of memory safety issues. Given the affected processors are widely used in Samsung mobile devices and wearables, this vulnerability could be exploited remotely via network vectors, particularly through GPRS protocol packets crafted to trigger the out-of-bounds write condition.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-22377 could be significant, especially those relying on Samsung mobile devices and wearables for business communications, field operations, or IoT deployments. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause memory corruption without requiring user interaction or privileges, which could lead to partial confidentiality and integrity breaches. While availability impact is not indicated, the ability to manipulate memory could be leveraged for further exploitation or lateral movement. Enterprises with mobile workforces using Samsung devices may face risks of data leakage or unauthorized data modification. Additionally, sectors such as telecommunications, healthcare, and finance, which often deploy Samsung-based devices for secure communications, could be targeted to compromise sensitive information. The lack of known exploits currently reduces immediate risk, but the network-exploitable nature and medium severity score warrant proactive mitigation. The vulnerability also poses risks to consumer privacy and could affect the trustworthiness of wearable devices used for health monitoring or authentication in Europe.

Given the absence of official patches at this time, European organizations should implement layered mitigations. First, monitor for firmware and software updates from Samsung and apply them promptly once available. Network-level protections should be enhanced by filtering or inspecting GPRS traffic to detect and block malformed or suspicious payloads that could exploit the length mismatch. Deploy intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with updated signatures targeting this vulnerability once released. Organizations should enforce strict device management policies, including limiting the use of vulnerable devices in sensitive environments and isolating them on segmented networks. Employ endpoint protection solutions capable of detecting anomalous memory corruption behaviors. Additionally, educating users about the risks and encouraging minimal exposure to untrusted networks can reduce attack surface. For critical deployments, consider alternative devices or chipsets until patches are confirmed. Finally, maintain active threat intelligence monitoring for any emerging exploit attempts related to CVE-2025-22377.
