DescriptionCVE.org

An issue was discovered in DPU in Samsung Mobile Processor Exynos 1280, 2200, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 2500, 1680, and 2600. A double-free vulnerability in the Samsung Exynos DPU driver (due to improper pointer management during DMA buffer reallocation) leads to kernel memory corruption and a potential use-after-free.

AnalysisAI

Double-free in the Samsung Exynos Display Processing Unit (DPU) kernel driver allows a local low-privileged attacker to corrupt kernel heap memory and trigger a use-after-free condition across nine Exynos chip families spanning mid-range to flagship Samsung devices. Exploitation requires meeting a high-complexity timing condition during DMA buffer reallocation in the DPU driver, limiting practical attack surface despite the kernel-level impact. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local code execution on an Android device powered by one of the nine affected Exynos chip families (1280, 2200, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 2500, 1680, or 2600). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.2 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L) appropriately reflects the local-only attack vector and high exploitation complexity, though A:L appears conservative for a kernel heap double-free that can reliably panic the system. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the DPU driver firmware fix issued by Samsung via the product security updates portal at https://semiconductor.samsung.com/support/quality-support/product-security-updates/cve-2026-23790/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
