Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Samsung Note devices with Android versions 5.0/5.1 through 7.0
Description
The issue is related to a lack of proper exception handling in some receivers of the Telecom application on Samsung devices. This can be exploited by attackers to crash the system, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, or possibly gain elevated privileges.
Recommendations
For Android versions 5.0/5.1 through 7.0, consider restricting access to the Telecom application until a patch is available.
As a temporary workaround, disabling the vulnerable receivers in the Telecom application may help minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
