Samsung : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In December 2012

The kernel in Samsung Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note 2, MEIZU MX, and possibly other Android devices, when running an Exynos 4210 or 4412 processor, uses weak permissions (0666) for /dev/exynos-mem, which allows attackers to read or write arbitrary physical memory and gain privileges via a crafted application, as demonstrated by ExynosAbuse.

The Track My Mobile feature in the SamsungDive subsystem for Android on Samsung Galaxy devices shows the activation of remote tracking, which might allow physically proximate attackers to defeat a product-recovery effort by tampering with this feature or its location data.

The Track My Mobile feature in the SamsungDive subsystem for Android on Samsung Galaxy devices does not properly implement Location APIs, which allows physically proximate attackers to provide arbitrary location data via a "commonly available simple GPS location spoofer."

Samsung Kies Air 2.1.207051 and 2.1.210161 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted request to www/apps/KiesAir/jws/ssd.php.

Samsung Kies Air 2.1.207051 and 2.1.210161 relies on the IP address for authentication, which allows remote man-in-the-middle attackers to read arbitrary phone contents by spoofing or controlling the IP address.
