Android Phones with Exynos Chipset Need Security Updates

Last Updated: 29 March 2023

Google's Project Zero found numerous vulnerabilities in the Exynos chipset used by a variety of Android phones. The most severe of them could allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone, without the phone owner needing to do anything. The attacker just needs the phone number. That said, it doesn't seem to be under active exploit yet, at least as far as public news goes.

Affected Devices: Only phones with certain Exynos chipsets are vulnerable. Adding to the confusion is the fact that in some cases, the same phone model has different chips, depending on where in the world it was sold.

The Samsung S22 is one example: the version sold in Europe has Exynos, but those sold in many other places have a Qualcomm chip.

Affected Chipsets: Exynos Modem 5123, Exynos Modem 5300, Exynos 980, Exynos 1080, and Exynos Auto T5123.

Google provided this list of likely affected devices based on the chipset list:

Samsung Galaxy phones including those in the S22, M33, M13, M12, A71, A53, A33, A21s, A13, A12, and A04 series

Vivo phones including those in the S16, S15, S6, X70, X60, and X30 series

Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro

Any vehicles that use the Exynos Auto T5123 chipset

Exploited?: I haven't yet found information saying the vulnerabilities are known to have been exploited, but the Project Zero researchers stated "With limited additional research and development, we believe that skilled attackers would be able to quickly create an operational exploit to compromise affected devices silently and remotely".

Mitigation: Google recommends you turn off Wi-Fi calling and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) on the affected devices. However, they have acknowledged that depending on carrier, you may not be able to turn off VoLTE.

Furthermore, you may not be able to use your phone for voice at all if VoLTE is off, depending on carrier, etc. So realistically, your best bet is a patch. See below.

Fix: As of the latest update to this post, Google has said the Pixel 7, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a have the critical vulnerabilities patched in the March 2023 security update.

It looks like at least some of the Samsung models have some patches available, so install any security updates you have pending and keep an eye out for more.

McAfee Mobile Security is simple to install & intuitive. It's a pared down version of the PC software. It doesn't conflict with my apps or streaming. It doesn't tax my battery. It's a decent product that performs as intended. I'm satisfied with its functionality. My only issue is I dislike the auto renewal feature. I prefer to manually renew my subscriptions.

(Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, Android 13)

I received McAfee Mobile Security for free from McAfee & Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

Why is mobile app security a top concern for developers

Mobile commerce and mobile devices have become more popular in recent years. With the advent of mobile technology, everything in our lives has changed, from our shopping habits to how we study or work. Many benefits have drawn numerous businesses and shoppers to use mobile, but most users are worried about mobile app security. 

WHY IS MOBILE APP SECURITY SO IMPORTANT 

Mobile app security refers to the level of security offered by different operating systems, such as Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. The goal of mobile app security is to secure high-value mobile applications and digital identity from fraudulent attacks. The purpose of security is to protect apps from external threats, such as malware and cyber fraud, which pose a threat to critical financial and personal information. 

CONSEQUENCES OF POOR MOBILE APP SECURITY 

50% of all companies have no budget for mobile app security. 

40% of companies fail to scan mobile apps code for security vulnerabilities 

33% of companies never test their apps, which leaves them vulnerable to cyber-attacks. 

Besides financial information, hackers can also access other sensitive data, like user account information or website credentials. A comparable type of malware can enter a user's system via downloaded apps. It can infect the device, force it to send or receive messages, request permission to get admission to the system location, read the contact list, enable push notifications, and do anything harmful without the user's permission. 

The above information and statistics are enough to understand that many application development companies do not prioritize security in their mobile apps. 

MEASURES TO ENSURE THE MOBILE APP SECURITY 

To prevent loss, certain crucial steps need to be taken to prevent it.  

Risk Audit 

Any mobile app developed for any commercial enterprise also can incorporate some necessary digital assets. Any safety infringement on the app can put the entire commercial enterprise in trouble. Many top-quality app improvement corporations strive every second, to make sure the security of an app. 

Secure Sensitive Information 

Confidential information should be stored in the app with suitable safety is inclined to cyber-attacks. Miscreants can gather personal information by reverse engineering techniques. So, it is essential to keep as few facts as possible to decrease the risk. 

Safe Database 

In order to secure a database, your storage ought to be thoroughly encrypted and covered with properly described records access, to stop any data breach.  Developers need to keep consumer databases, credentials, and other fundamental data in a secure place, regardless of if it is a device or a cloud-based server. 

Penetration Testing 

Penetration testing is conducted to identify recognized weaknesses in an application. It pursues to get potential loopholes that a hacker could make use of. It also includes checking unencrypted data, vulnerable password policies, authorizations to third-party apps, etc. So, in many instances performing penetration checking is for the safety of your app. 

Poor User Authentication 

Unsecure user authentication, users run the danger of having access to any password they choose in the program. It's because hackers employ various character combinations to attempt to guess user passwords and get access. Additionally, these functions best with widely used and simple passwords.  

Solution: Always remember to include the following items in your checklist while developing safe mobile applications 

 Establish a strict password validation requirement.  

After a predetermined number of unsuccessful attempts, lock the user out. 

Activate 2FA for the application. 

CONCLUSION 

In this digitized world, mobile applications have become necessary for every purpose. These applications have made lifestyle tasks much easier, but at the same time, they will be dangerous if not used carefully. As a leading mobile app development firm, we build user-friendly, scalable, and high-quality mobile apps that stand out in the crowd, choose Neetable
