Samsung quickly responded to security threats, showing their commitment to protecting users from cyber threats.
SVE-2023-1778 (CVE-2024-20866):
There was a vulnerability in the Setupwizard that allowed unauthorized users to bypass device setup authentication. The patch for this vulnerability fixed the issue by removing unnecessary internet access during setup to prevent unauthorized access.
SVE-2023-2193 (CVE-2024-20855):
There was a problem with access control in the multitasking framework, which could have let unauthorized users access and control multitasking functions, allowing privilege escalation attacks. The update fixed this by imposing stricter access controls.
SVE-2023-2265 (CVE-2024-20856):
Samsung’s Secure Folder had a security flaw that allowed hackers to bypass authentication and access private data stored in it. The flaw has been fixed.

SveService had vulnerabilities: a use-after-free issue and an out-of-bounds write flaw. Both could allow arbitrary code execution. The patches fixed these memory corruption issues to prevent exploitation.
SVE-2024-0234 (CVE-2024-20865):
An authentication bypass in the bootloader allowed physical attackers to flash any images. The patch has added verification checks to prevent unauthorized flashing, improving the security of the device’s boot process.
SVE-2024-0357 (CVE-2024-20864):
A security issue in DarManagerService was fixed. This issue could have allowed unauthorized access, which could lead to further attacks.
