CVE-2025-21043 is an out-of-bounds write in Samsung's Quram image codec library, libimagecodec.quram.so, before the September 2025 Security Maintenance Release (SMR) Release 1. The incorrect implementation can write outside an allocated memory buffer while processing attacker-controlled image content, enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Samsung identified Android 13, 14, 15, and 16 as affected and confirmed that exploitation existed in the wild prior to the fix.
