DescriptionCVE.org

Stack-based buffer overflow in libril_sem.so prior to SMR Aug-2026 Release 1 allows privileged local attackers to execute arbitrary code.

AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer overflow in libril_sem.so - Samsung's Radio Interface Layer shared library - enables privileged local attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected Samsung Mobile Devices prior to SMR Aug-2026 Release 1. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/PR:H) confirms exploitation requires established local access with high privileges, limiting the realistic attacker pool to already-compromised or insider-threat scenarios. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

libril_sem.so is a proprietary Samsung shared library implementing the Radio Interface Layer (RIL) - the software abstraction between Android's telephony stack and the baseband modem hardware. A stack-based buffer overflow (writing beyond the bounds of a stack-allocated buffer) in this library allows an attacker with high privileges to corrupt the call stack and redirect execution to attacker-controlled code. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:samsung_mobile:samsung_mobile_devices:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the vulnerability is in Samsung's application-layer software rather than the baseband firmware itself. No CWE identifier was assigned in the NVD record, though the description clearly maps to CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow).

RemediationAI

Apply SMR Aug-2026 Release 1 or later, which is confirmed by Samsung as the fix release for this vulnerability. Users should navigate to Settings > Software Update on their Samsung device and install the August 2026 security patch. The vendor advisory is available at https://security.samsungmobile.com/securityUpdate.smsb?year=2026&month=08. For enterprise deployments using Samsung Knox or MDM solutions, administrators should enforce the minimum patch level corresponding to SMR Aug-2026 Release 1. No workarounds or compensating controls are identified in the available data; given the local high-privilege requirement, restricting physical and privileged logical access to devices is the most actionable interim measure while patches are deployed.
