| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H) accurately reflects a moderate local-only vulnerability: exploitation requires physical or logical local access to a Tizen device, a low-privilege application or user context, and high attack complexity indicating specific memory-state or timing prerequisites beyond the attacker's full control. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing exist at time of analysis; EPSS was not provided in the input data, leaving exploitation probability unquantified but assessed as low given the attack surface constraints. The C:N rating is consistent with the fix diff, which targets a write-path indexer with no observable data-disclosure code path. I:H and A:H reflect the realistic potential for the OOB write to crash the Tizen multimedia subsystem or corrupt adjacent heap structures with further exploitation potential. Given the strictly local attack vector, high complexity, and absence of any exploitation evidence, this vulnerability is appropriately scheduled for the next routine Tizen firmware update rather than emergency response. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Samsung TizenFX's MediaBufferBase component allows a local low-privileged attacker to corrupt memory by supplying unchecked array indices through the Tizen.Multimedia media buffer API. The vulnerable indexer property in Tizen.Multimedia.Common.Internal.MediaBufferBase lacked all bounds validation prior to fixes introduced in upstream PRs #7814 and #7815, admitting negative or oversized index values. Under high-complexity conditions, successful exploitation can produce high integrity and availability impact - crashing the multimedia subsystem or enabling controlled memory corruption - on Tizen-based devices such as Samsung Smart TVs and Galaxy Watch wearables. No public exploit exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed.
RemediationAI
Apply the upstream fixes from Samsung TizenFX GitHub pull requests #7814 (https://github.com/Samsung/TizenFX/pull/7814) and #7815 (https://github.com/Samsung/TizenFX/pull/7815), which introduce bounds-checking validation in MediaBufferBase.cs. A specific tagged release version incorporating these commits is not independently confirmed from the available data - monitor Samsung's Tizen security advisories and deploy the next vendor-released Tizen OS firmware that bundles these fixes. As a compensating control pending patch deployment, enforce Tizen application privilege separation to restrict untrusted applications from acquiring multimedia buffer access permissions, reducing the population of callers that can reach the vulnerable indexer. Note that privilege restriction may impact legitimate media applications and should be scoped carefully.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TizenFX is the official .NET application framework for Samsung's Tizen OS, underpinning Samsung Smart TVs, Galaxy Watch devices, and Tizen IoT appliances. The affected component is the C
indexer property (byte this[int index]) inside MediaBufferBase.cs in Tizen.Multimedia.Common.Internal, which exposes direct read/write access to raw media buffer bytes. Prior to the fix, no bounds check was performed on the caller-supplied index value, satisfying the dual classification of CWE-787 (Out-of-Bounds Write) and CWE-129 (Improper Validation of Array Index). The upstream fix, visible in the PR diff, inserts an explicit guard - if (index < 0 || index >= Length) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(...) - immediately before buffer access. CPE cpe:2.3:a:samsung_open_source:tizenfx:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all TizenFX releases prior to the patched commits.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
