Summary

A double-free vulnerability was discovered in the MFC module of Samsung Exynos 850, 1080, 2100, 1280, 2200, 1330, 1380, 1480, 2400, 1580, 2500, 2600, 1680, W920, W930, and W1000 processors. The flaw in the Exynos MFC encoder driver, caused by improper cleanup of dma_buf references during error handling, leads to kernel memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can lead to kernel memory corruption and arbitrary code execution, risking full device compromise. This affects a wide range of devices with Exynos processors.

Recommendation

Immediately apply the vendor firmware update for the affected Exynos processors. Until patched, restrict access to the MFC encoder driver and monitor for exploitation attempts.
