Race condition in the ioctl implementation in the Samsung Graphics 2D driver (aka /dev/fimg2d) in Samsung devices with Android L(5.0/5.1) allows local users to trigger memory errors by leveraging definition of g2d_lock and g2d_unlock lock macros as no-ops, aka SVE-2015-4598.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Samsung Android driver flaw in the Graphics 2D component. A local user or app on Android 5.0/5.1 Samsung devices could trigger memory errors through the /dev/fimg2d interface. The sources show public exploit references, but not confirmed active exploitation. Exposure appears limited to Samsung devices running Android Lollipop 5.0 or 5.1 with the Samsung Graphics 2D /dev/fimg2d driver present. The bundle does not identify specific models, firmware builds, or CPEs. Prioritize this if the organization still operates legacy Samsung Android 5.0/5.1 devices. For modern managed fleets, urgency is lower, but unsupported devices should be removed because local driver flaws can undermine device integrity after app compromise. Mitigation focus: Apply Samsung’s October 2015 SMR guidance for SVE-2015-4598 where available.; Retire or isolate unsupported Samsung Android 5.0/5.1 devices.; Block sideloading and untrusted app installation on remaining affected devices..
