CVE-2025-52909: n/a
An issue was discovered in the Wi-Fi driver in Samsung Mobile Processor and Wearable Processor Exynos 980, 850, 1280, 1330, 1380, 1480, 1580, W920, W930, and W1000. Incorrect Handling of the NL80211 vendor command leads to a buffer overflow via a certain ioctl message, issue 2 of 2.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a buffer overflow caused by improper processing of the NL80211 vendor command in the Wi-Fi driver of multiple Samsung Exynos processors used in mobile and wearable devices. The flaw can be triggered remotely without privileges or user interaction, leading to severe impacts including full system compromise. The CVSS vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-120 (classic buffer overflow). No patch or vendor advisory is currently available to confirm remediation status.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely on affected devices, potentially leading to full system compromise including data theft, device control, or denial of service. The critical CVSS score (9.8) reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. As this affects widely used Samsung Exynos processors in mobile and wearable devices, the impact could be significant if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users and administrators should monitor for updates from Samsung and apply patches promptly once available. No vendor advisory or official mitigation instructions are currently provided, so no specific workaround can be recommended at this time.
