The Samsung Mobile Processor and Modem Exynos 2400 and Modem 5400 lack a length check for these packets. When a malformed packet is received, it causes the system to crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3832056080\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>The following is a conceptual example of a malicious PDCP packet sent to exploit the vulnerability. This is not an actual code, but a representation of how a potential attack might occur.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\"># Pseudo command to send a malformed PDCP packet\nsend_packet --target target.example.com --port 1234 --packet &quot;{ &#039;malformed_pdcp_packet&#039;: &#039;...&#039; }&quot;<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This packet, when processed by the vulnerable Samsung Mobile Processor and Modem, would cause a system crash leading to a Denial of Service. In some situations, it could also lead to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The primary mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor patch provided by Samsung. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, a temporary mitigation could be to use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and block malformed PDCP packets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The vulnerability CVE-2025-26780 is a serious security flaw found in Samsung Mobile Processor and Modem Exynos 2400 and Modem 5400.
