CVE-2025-27807 is a security vulnerability identified in a wide range of Samsung Exynos processors and modems, including mobile, wearable, and modem chipsets such as Exynos 980, 990, 850, 1080, 2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 9110, W920, W930, W1000, and modems 5123, 5300, and 5400. The root cause is a lack of proper length validation when processing NAS (Non-Access Stratum) packets, which are part of the signaling protocol used in cellular networks. This flaw allows an attacker to send malformed NAS packets that trigger out-of-bounds memory writes. Such memory corruption can lead to arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, or denial of service conditions on affected devices. The vulnerability affects the firmware or software components handling NAS packets within these chipsets. Although no CVSS score or public exploits are currently reported, the vulnerability's nature suggests it could be exploited remotely over the cellular network without user interaction or authentication, making it a serious threat. The broad range of affected chipsets indicates a large attack surface, impacting smartphones, wearables, and IoT devices using these processors. The absence of patch information suggests that mitigation depends on Samsung and OEMs releasing firmware updates. This vulnerability highlights the critical need for secure protocol parsing in cellular baseband processors, as exploitation could compromise device security and network integrity.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-27807 could be substantial. Many enterprises and public sector entities rely on Samsung-based mobile devices and wearables for communication and operational tasks. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive corporate data, disruption of communications, or device takeover. The vulnerability could also affect critical infrastructure relying on cellular connectivity, such as emergency services, transportation, and industrial IoT systems. Given the remote exploitation potential via cellular networks, attackers could target devices without physical access or user interaction, increasing risk. The integrity and availability of communications could be compromised, affecting business continuity. Additionally, the widespread use of Samsung Exynos chipsets in consumer and enterprise devices means that supply chain security and device management practices will be tested. Organizations may face regulatory and compliance challenges if data breaches or service disruptions occur due to this vulnerability.

Mitigation requires a multi-layered approach. First, Samsung must develop and distribute patches addressing the length check flaw in the NAS packet processing code. Device manufacturers and carriers should prioritize deploying firmware updates to affected devices promptly. Organizations should implement mobile device management (MDM) solutions to enforce timely patching and monitor device health. Network operators can deploy anomaly detection systems to identify and block malformed NAS packets at the network edge. Enterprises should educate users on the importance of installing updates and consider restricting the use of vulnerable devices in sensitive environments until patched. Additionally, segmentation of critical networks and use of VPNs can reduce exposure. For IoT deployments, device inventory and risk assessment should identify affected hardware for prioritized remediation. Monitoring threat intelligence feeds for emerging exploits related to this CVE is also recommended to enable rapid response.
