Out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Samsung Open Source Escargot allows Overflow Buffers.This issue affects Escargot: 97e8115ab1110bc502b4b5e4a0c689a71520d335.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds write in Samsung Open Source Escargot JavaScript engine allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code or corrupt memory through buffer overflow conditions. This vulnerability affects Escargot commit 97e8115ab1110bc502b4b5e4a0c689a71520d335 and prior versions. With a 7.4 CVSS score (high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact) but high attack complexity and local attack vector, exploitation requires specialized conditions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS data not available for this CVE.
Technical ContextAI
Escargot is Samsung's lightweight JavaScript engine designed for resource-constrained environments like smart TVs and IoT devices. This vulnerability (CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write) represents a classic buffer overflow condition where the engine writes data beyond allocated memory boundaries during JavaScript execution. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:samsung_open_source:escargot, specifically impacting the codebase at commit 97e8115ab1110bc502b4b5e4a0c689a71520d335. Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in JavaScript engines are particularly critical because they occur in memory-unsafe code paths during parsing, compilation, or execution of JavaScript, potentially allowing attackers to overwrite adjacent memory structures, function pointers, or control data. The Samsung TV appliance context suggests this engine runs in embedded systems where memory protections may be limited compared to desktop environments.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch available through Samsung Open Source Escargot GitHub pull request #1554 at https://github.com/Samsung/escargot/pull/1554 once merged and released. Monitor the Escargot repository for official release notes confirming the fix version and upgrade to that version immediately upon availability. For Samsung TV and appliance deployments, wait for vendor firmware updates that incorporate the patched Escargot engine and apply them through standard device update mechanisms. Until patches are deployed, implement defense-in-depth controls: restrict local access to affected devices, disable unnecessary JavaScript execution features if possible, implement application sandboxing or container isolation for Escargot processes, and monitor for abnormal memory usage patterns or crashes that could indicate exploitation attempts. Organizations embedding Escargot in custom products should review their build processes to ensure they can rapidly integrate upstream security fixes.
