Affected products include Samsung Mobile Processor, Wearable Processor, and Modem Exynos 980, 990, 850, 1080, 2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 2500, 9110, W920, W930, W1000, Modem 5123, Modem 5300, and Modem 5400.

Defensive priority

High Criticality Requires Immediate Attention Due to Potential for Code Execution and High CVSS Score of 10. Apply patches immediately and monitor for exploitation attempts. Ensure that all affected devices are patched and that there is a plan in place for emergency patching if needed. Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified. Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented. Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up. Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance. Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed. Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review. Ensure that all security teams are aware of the vulnerability and its potential impact. Ensure that all IT teams are aware of the vulnerability and its potential impact.
