CVE-2026-33960: CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write in Samsung Exynos 1330 firmware
CVE-2026-33960 is a low-severity vulnerability in Samsung Exynos mobile and wearable processors including models 1330, 1380, 1480, 1580, 1680, W920, W930, and W1000. It involves an out-of-bounds write caused by improper buffer size allocation when handling a malformed ioctl command to the Wi-Fi interface device. This can lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no official patch or remediation details are provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-33960) affects Samsung Exynos processors (1330, 1380, 1480, 1580, 1680, W920, W930, W1000). A malformed ioctl command targeting the Wi-Fi interface device triggers improper buffer size allocation, resulting in an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). The consequence is a denial of service (DoS) due to memory corruption. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 2.8, reflecting low severity with local attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and impact limited to availability. The vulnerability was published on 2026-09-14. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to denial of service (DoS) caused by an out-of-bounds write in the Wi-Fi interface device driver on affected Samsung Exynos processors. There is no confidentiality or integrity impact. Exploitation requires local access with low privileges and high attack complexity. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch information is currently available. Until a patch is released, limit local access to affected devices and monitor for unusual Wi-Fi interface behavior.
