This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-21091, involves an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) in the libcodec2secevrcdec.so library used in Samsung Mobile Devices. The issue exists in versions prior to the SMR Sep-2026 Release 1 and allows local attackers with low privileges to write outside allocated memory boundaries. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium severity with local attack vector and low complexity. The vulnerability affects Samsung's cloud service environment, and Samsung provides remediation through their monthly security releases.

Potential Impact

The vulnerability allows local attackers with limited privileges to perform out-of-bounds memory writes, which can lead to memory corruption.
