Google finds 18 zero-day vulnerabilities in Samsung Exynos chipsets <https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-finds-18-zero-day-vulnerabilities-in-samsung-exynos-chipsets/>
---
Project Zero, Google's zero-day bug-hunting team, discovered and
reported *18* zero-day vulnerabilities in Samsung’s Exynos chipsets used
in *mobile* devices, *wearables*, and *cars*.
The Exynos modem security flaws were reported between late 2022 and
early 2023. Four of the eighteen zero-days were identified as the most serious, enabling *remote* *code* *execution* from the *Internet* to the *baseband*.
These Internet-to-baseband remote code execution (RCE) bugs (including CVE-2023-24033 and three others still waiting for a CVE-ID) allow
attackers to compromise vulnerable devices *remotely* and *without* any
user interaction.
"The baseband software does not properly check the format types of accept-type attribute specified by the SDP, which can lead to a denial
of service or code execution in Samsung Baseband Modem," Samsung says in
a security advisory describing the CVE-2023-24033 vulnerability.
The only information required for the attacks to be pulled off is the victim's *phone* *number*, according to Tim Willis, the Head of Project
Zero.
To make things even worse, with minimal additional research, experienced attackers could easily create an exploit capable of remotely
compromising vulnerable devices without triggering the targets'
attention.
"Due to a very rare combination of level of access these vulnerabilities provide and the speed with which we believe a reliable operational
exploit could be crafted, we have decided to make a policy exception to
delay disclosure for the four vulnerabilities that allow for Internet-to-baseband remote code execution," Willis said.
The 14 remaining flaws (including CVE-2023-24072, CVE-2023-24073, CVE-2023-24074, CVE-2023-24075, CVE-2023-24076, and nine others awaiting CVE-IDs) are not as critical but still pose a risk. Successful
exploitation requires local access or a malicious mobile network
operator.
Based on the list of affected chipsets provided by Samsung, the list of affected devices includes but is likely not limited to:
* Mobile devices from Samsung, including those in the S22, M33, M13,
M12, A71, A53, A33, A21, A13, A12 and A04 series;
* Mobile devices from Vivo, including those in the S16, S15, S6, X70,
X60 and X30 series;
* The Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series of devices from Google;
* any wearables that use the Exynos W920 chipset; and
* any vehicles that use the Exynos Auto T5123 chipset.
Workaround available for affected devices
While Samsung has already provided security updates addressing these vulnerabilities in impacted chipsets to other vendors, the patches are
*not* *public* and *can't* be applied by all affected users.
Each manufacturer's patch timeline for their devices will differ but,
for instance, Google has already addressed CVE-2023-24033 for impacted
Pixel devices in its March 2023 security updates.
However, until patches are available, users can thwart baseband RCE exploitation attempts targeting Samsung's Exynos chipsets in their
device by disabling Wi-Fi calling and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) to remove
the attack vector.
Samsung also confirmed Project Zero's workaround, saying that "users can disable WiFi calling and VoLTE to mitigate the impact of this
vulnerability."
"As always, we encourage end users to update their devices as soon as possible, to ensure that they are running the latest builds that fix
both disclosed and undisclosed security vulnerabilities," Willis added.

Very old news.
Nope, the article was posted seven days ago. But it's understandable
that the Android zealots would be very upset that Android devices with
these baseband chips have EIGHTEEN new zero-days.

Since you can discuss it there where it belongs & where details & lists
of affected devices is covered, why is this suddenly news on an iOS newsgroup?

There are not one but two threads on the Android newsgroup about this
already the first of which was posted by Newskrawler the moment the
news of the Qualcomm issues was made public by Google.

Unfortunately, Zero-day exploits are a fact of life on both Android
and iOS devices. It's something we all have to deal with.
Google has already issued a security update for these vulnerabilities
on their Pixel devices. It's a 459MB update. As an aside, I just
installed the latest iOS 16.4 beta and it was 5GB.

what i do is call out bullshit whenever i see it, which is not the same

definitely not.
what this group has are two instigators, along with their entourage of sockpuppets, who deliberately seek to disrupt everything in their path
and then blame others.
The reason that I prepared "the document,
" and why it has grown to 113
pages, is because I explain in detail the features of iOS that Android
users wish they had, and vice-versa,
plus I provide references and
citations to ensure that those looking at the document have a way to
verify the information.
As you've seen with the trolls, they rarely
provide any references or citations, and they are infuriated that they
are unable to dispute anything that I included in the document.
Since I use both platforms on a regular basis,
I have a level of
knowledge that our trolls do not have.
and since it's much easier to develop and deploy Android
applications,
He tried to claim that Android could do Cross Platform, Ultrasonic File Transfers and was actually pointing out that there was no such app in the App Store. Never mind that there is no such thing as Ultrasonic File Transfers. It is physically impossible.
He made a total fool of himself
on that one. Even more so than he usually does whenever he opens his
mouth.
But DO notice that no one here goes trolling in Android groups. Why? Because we dont give a damn about you or Android. We have actual lives
and are Actual Adults.

actually, it's very possible.
it's basically an analog modem. one device encodes the data into sounds
and the other device listens and decodes it.
the only requirement for it to be ultrasonic is that the microphone and speaker on the devices have a response beyond what humans can hear. if
not, it will be an audible file transfer.
it's also incredibly inefficient.
wifi is a *lot* faster. even lowly bluetooth is faster.
it might be an interesting project for someone to lean about digital
signal processing, however.

By that definition YOU cannot consider Arlen a troll since he provides

Hehhehheh... Thanks badgolferman for realizing I provide cites for
everything I claim and, let's be clear, I _test_ the claims of the iKooks.
I'm like you in that I don't filter out Steve, nor nospam, nor even Jolly Roger, but I did have to filter out Snit & Alan Baker, and even Joerg recently, as they have never added even an iota of value to this ng.
And let's be clear, I post detailed screenshots _proving_ what I claim.
I'm highly educated, and therefore I _know_ credibility is critical.
Steve is fine, with the exception of his Verizon shilling, which I think Steve mentioned he had a fiduciary relationship with them so maybe that's
why but if it's not that, I can't understand why he shills for them.
I think Steve's document is pretty good, and definitely extensive, where
all the iKooks can say is every line out of thousands must be wrong, which just isn't true.
Steve, to his credit, has earned a college degree, in EE no less, so he's
not stupid like the iKooks either - and - get this - Steve reads the news.
I have bought a lot of the stuff Steve advertises, as Steve is a shrewd searcher for the best possible deal, which I have always thanked him for.
Steve's politics are off to the edges, as are Alan Browne's, which is too
far off center for me (to them, since I'm a centrist, I'm the wacko, simply for holding views that weren't fed to me to believe).
Speaking of views fed to me, my views are my own, and they are always
backed up by the facts, where I don't say it if it's not a fact, and,
let's be very very very very very very very clear.
1. I almost never state a fact wrong. It's almost unheard of.
(Not because I'm a genius but because I don't say things that aren't
backed up in the references so my belief system is based on evidence.)
2. If I do, perchance, make a mistake (e.g., a math error in Covid
calculations, which Chris kindly pointed out or a subscription price
omission which nospam pointed, out, I admit it openly and instantly.
My credibility is the most important asset I own, and if Steve thinks
I'm not credible, ask him to point out even _one_ instance where he
says I'm wrong - and I will respond.
Almost always it's when Steve didn't use the same metrics, by the way,
when he disagrees with the facts that I state.
Take the example of the percentage of Android phones with some feature,
such as 3.5mm jacks or sd slots, and I will run a search for _all_
Androids, if that's what I'm claiming, and he will run a _different_
search of only the Androids he likes.
Those are _different_ statistics.
Steve always says I'm wrong when he doesn't even _show_ his search.
I always do.
You know that.
I've been on Usenet for as long as anyone so I don't really care, but the result of Steve filtering me out is he _remains_ ignorant of many facts.
It's his choice to remain ignorant.
But let's be clear.
Nobody can show a single fact I've ever stated in all my years on Usenet
that was wrong - or - if it was - that I didn't instantly readily admit it.
My ego is NOT tied up in Usenet like theirs is.
I'm here, and on all the OS newsgroups, for one main reason:
a. To learn from others and to disseminate knowledge;
And, specifically for Apple newsgroups, I have another goal...
b. To prove to the world what strange people the iKooks are.
If Steve wants to filter me out, so be it.
It's his loss. Not mine.
Steve backs up "most" of his facts (although he lied about Verizon
coverage over T-Mobile for some unknown reason), and I back up mine.
You can't ask for more, especially since iKooks just make everything up.
So we now have the battle of opposing facts!
Speaking of "opposing facts", did you see the news that Apple has almost *twice* the number of zero-day bugs reported yesterday, than Android did?
Security researchers agree that high-end Android devices (including
Samsung devices with Knox) are now the most secure consumer mobile
devices.
