A zero-day vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-44068, has been discovered in <\/span>Samsung’s<\/a><\/span> mobile processors and is being used in an exploit chain for arbitrary code execution.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vulnerability was given a critical CVSS score of 8.1 out of 10 and was patched in Samsung’s October set of security fixes.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) advisory<\/a><\/span> on the bug describes it as “an issue [that] was discovered in the m2m scaler driver in Samsung Mobile Processor and Wearable Processor Exynos 9820, 9825, 980, 990, 850, and W920.” A use-after-free bug in the mobile processor ultimately leads to privilege escalation, the agency added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google researcher Xingyu Jin was credited with reporting the flaw earlier this year, and Google TAG researcher Clement Lecigne warned that <\/span>an exploit exists<\/a><\/span> in the wild.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This zero-day exploit is part of an EoP chain,” Jin and Lecigne noted. “The actor is able to execute arbitrary code in a privileged camera server process. The exploit also renamed the process name itself to ‘[email protected]<\/a>‘, probably for anti-forensic purposes.”<\/span><\/p>\n
