CVE-2025-66366: Samsung Exynos baseband denial of service in RRC Setup handling

CVE-2025-66366 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-05

Samsung Exynos processors contain a baseband component that improperly validates unauthenticated RRC (Radio Resource Control) Setup messages from cellular networks. An attacker with network access to a cellular tower or capable of forging such messages can crash the baseband processor, causing device loss of connectivity and requiring a restart.

Technologies: Samsung Exynos. Vendors: Samsung.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the baseband's RRC Setup message handler, which fails to properly validate authentication on downlink RRC Setup messages. An attacker on the network (adjacent attack vector via cellular tower compromise or spoofing) can send a crafted unauthenticated RRC Setup message that triggers a crash in the baseband processor. This is a denial-of-service condition affecting device connectivity.
