| Impact | CVSS 9.1 (Critical). Network vector (cellular), no auth, no interaction. Baseband exploits are among the most dangerous mobile vulnerabilities. A fake base station within radio range can target any nearby device. EPSS 0.06%. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker deploys a rogue LTE base station in a target area. Nearby Samsung devices connect to it. The attacker sends crafted NAS packets that trigger the OOB write in the Exynos baseband, gaining code execution below the Android OS. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
Samsung Exynos processors (multiple models including 980, 990, 2100, 2200, 2400) and modems have an out-of-bounds write via malformed NAS (Non-Access Stratum) packets. This baseband vulnerability can be exploited over the cellular network without user interaction, potentially affecting millions of devices.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Samsung Exynos baseband processors have an OOB write via malicious NAS packets, exploitable over the cellular network without user interaction.
RemediationAI
Apply Samsung security updates. These are typically distributed through carrier OTA updates. No user-side mitigation exists for baseband vulnerabilities.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The NAS packet parser in Exynos baseband firmware fails to validate length fields (CWE-787), causing out-of-bounds writes. NAS operates between the device and the core network – a rogue base station or compromised network element can send crafted packets directly to the baseband processor. Baseband vulnerabilities execute below the OS, often with DMA access to main memory.

DescriptionCVE.org
An issue was discovered in Samsung Mobile Processor, Wearable Processor, and Modem Exynos 980, 990, 850, 1080, 2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 9110, W920, W930, W1000, Modem 5123, Modem 5300, Modem 5400. The lack of a length check leads to out-of-bounds writes via malformed NAS packets.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-27807 presents critical security risk, a out-of-bounds write vulnerability rated CVSS 9.1. Exploitation could allow attackers to corrupt memory, crash the application, or potentially execute arbitrary code. Organizations should apply vendor updates immediately when available and implement compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Enable ASLR and DEP where available; (2) Implement network segmentation; (3) Monitor for exploitation indicators.
