On Samsung Galaxy S4 through S7 devices, the "omacp" app ignores security information embedded in the OMACP messages resulting in remote unsolicited WAP Push SMS messages being accepted, parsed, and handled by the device, leading to unauthorized configuration changes, a subset of SVE-2016-6542.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Samsung Galaxy S4 through S7 phones could accept unsolicited carrier-style configuration messages and change settings without proper authorization. The issue is in Samsung's omacp app handling OMACP messages received by WAP Push SMS. Business risk is mainly legacy mobile device exposure, not current enterprise servers. Exposure appears limited to Samsung Galaxy S4 through S7 devices running vulnerable firmware with the omacp app and reachable SMS/WAP Push handling. The bundle does not identify exact firmware builds, regions, carriers, or current support status. Treat this as a legacy mobile-device hygiene issue. Prioritize discovery and removal of unsupported Galaxy S4-S7 devices from sensitive access. Escalate only if such devices still handle business data or authenticate to corporate services. Mitigation focus: Review Samsung's referenced August 2016 security maintenance guidance for SVE-2016-6542 applicability.; Update affected Samsung devices to vendor-fixed firmware where available.; Remove legacy Galaxy S4-S7 devices from trusted enterprise access if updates are unavailable..
