DescriptionCVE.org

Out-of-bounds write in SveService prior to SMR May-2026 Release 1 allows local privileged attackers to execute arbitrary code.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds memory write in Samsung's SveService component allows local attackers holding high privileges to execute arbitrary code on affected devices. Impacting Samsung Mobile Devices running Android 14, 15, and 16 prior to SMR May-2026 Release 1, exploitation is constrained to local privileged actors, substantially limiting real-world attack surface. No public exploit code exists and no confirmed active exploitation has been reported; EPSS places this at the 3rd percentile (0.01%), consistent with the elevated barrier to entry.

Technical ContextAI

SveService is a privileged Samsung system-level service running on Samsung Mobile Devices across Android 14, 15, and 16 generations (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:samsung_mobile:samsung_mobile_devices). The root cause is CWE-787 (Out-of-Bounds Write): the service fails to properly validate the bounds of a memory write operation, permitting an attacker-controlled value to write data beyond the intended buffer boundary. On modern Android, this class of flaw in a privileged service can allow an attacker with existing system-level or privileged-app access to corrupt adjacent memory structures, overwrite function pointers or return addresses, and redirect execution flow to attacker-controlled code. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N) confirms the local-only, high-privilege-required attack surface with no special attack requirements (AT:N) and no need for user interaction.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to apply the Samsung Monthly Security Release for May 2026 (SMR May-2026 Release 1), which contains the patch for this vulnerability across Android 14, 15, and 16. Device owners and MDM administrators should verify OTA update status and enforce prompt update adoption via policy. The vendor advisory is at https://security.samsungmobile.com/securityUpdate.smsb?year=2026&month=05. Where patching cannot be immediately applied, compensating controls should focus on restricting the privilege level of third-party applications - specifically, preventing installation of apps requesting system-level or privileged permissions - and enabling Samsung Knox integrity monitoring if available, which may detect anomalous SveService behavior. Note that these controls reduce exposure but do not eliminate the vulnerability; patch application remains the definitive fix.
