CVE-2026-33969: In the NAS Authentication Request message decoding procedure, a missing lower bound check causes an infinite loop, leading to Denial of Serv
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.17% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: Samsung Semiconductor Exynos 1280 October 2026; Samsung Semiconductor Exynos 1330 October 2026; Samsung Semiconductor Exynos 1380 October 2026.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Samsung Semiconductor Exynos 1280 October 2026; Samsung Semiconductor Exynos 1330 October 2026; Samsung Semiconductor Exynos 1380 October 2026 or later.
