AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L
Kernel OOB write with S:C and confirmed privilege escalation path warrants C:H/I:H/A:H; AC:H reflects required heap-grooming and layout knowledge.

An issue was discovered in DPU in Samsung Mobile Processor Exynos 1280, 2200, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 2500, 1680, and 2600. An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Exynos DPU driver (due to missing input length validation in color mode LUT parsing) leads to kernel memory corruption and potential privilege escalation.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds write in the Samsung Exynos Display Processing Unit (DPU) kernel driver enables a local low-privileged attacker to corrupt kernel memory and potentially escalate privileges on devices running Exynos 1280, 2200, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 2500, 1680, and 2600 mobile processors. The flaw stems from missing input length validation in the color mode LUT (Look-Up Table) parsing path of the DPU driver, allowing attacker-controlled data to overflow a kernel buffer. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) local code execution on the target device at a low-privilege level (e.g., a malicious app installed by the user or delivered via another vulnerability); (2) the device must be running one of the listed Exynos SoCs (1280, 2200, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 2500, 1680, or 2600); (3) access to the DPU driver interface - typically exposed via a graphics or display device node accessible to unprivileged processes or processes in a specific group (the exact Android permission/SELinux label gating this interface is not confirmed in available data). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.2 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L) significantly understates the realistic impact of a kernel OOB write with scope change. … 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 vendor-released firmware or kernel patch identified in Samsung's semiconductor security advisory at https://semiconductor.samsung.com/support/quality-support/product-security-updates/cve-2026-23791/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
