Samsung March 2023 update brings important patch to Galaxy S21 Exynos models
Samsung recently released its March 2023 security update details, which mention fixes for a lot of CVE and SVE items. In the meantime, the company also reveals an important vulnerability fix for Samsung Galaxy S21 Exynos models with the March 2023 patch.
The SVE that reads “SVE-2022-0604(CVE-2023-21459)” fixes the use after free vulnerability in the decon driver. This issue was allowing attackers to cause memory access faults, meanwhile, the March 2023 patch adds proper check logic to prevent use after free.
The security patch details further say that this moderate level of SVE was reported on February 1, 2023. It was affecting the Galaxy devices driving Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13 operating systems with the Exynos 2100 chipset.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 series phones, including the S21, S21+, S21 Ultra, and S21 FE, use Exynos 2100 chipset in select regions, which means the March 2023 patch has fixed this major vulnerability for all these devices.
‘Improper authorization in Exynos baseband’ is also resolved:
Aside from the decon driver exposure, Samsung has also fixed the improper authorization in the Exynos baseband vulnerability – SVE-2022-2678(CVE-2023-21455).
As per the information, this issue was affecting Samsung Exynos models. It was allowing incorrect handling of the unencrypted message as was reported in November last year.
It is worth noting that Samsung is yet to release the March 2023 Android security patch update for Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra, or S21 FE customers. In fact, it hasn’t started delivering the March patch update yet.
Usually, the Korean company does not delay the release of security patches, but since it is currently rolling out the One UI 5.1 update, we are seeing a delay. However, the release is not far away, Galaxy customers are likely to get the March 2023 security patch very soon.

Samsung’s factory will deliver the latest Galaxy smartphones, made by Egyptian hands and global technology. Moreover, it will help transfer technology and technical know-how to the Egyptian market, thus supporting the indigenization of the mobile phone industry in the country.
Egypt’s ICT Minister noted that the govt is keen to introduce incentive schemes for investors and provide a workforce well-versed in electronics-related specializations. The new factory builds on the productive cooperation with Samsung, which paid off with the manufacturing of educational tablets in Egypt.

Samsung provides Rugged Galaxy devices that meet the needs of industries that demand reliable, durable, and powerful mobile devices under a variety of working conditions, even in the harshest environments. Recently, by testing the durability of the Rugged lineup, construction contractor Murray Kruger conveys that the Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro are capable of surviving harsh construction conditions.
Kruger has been in business for 22 years and started his own contracting company in 2012. It specializes in insurance repairs and renovations, possibly one of the harshest construction environments with smoke, ash, clogged basements, toxic fumes, and below-freezing temperatures.
According to a 2022 survey by Samsung Electronics Canada of Toronto Building Society members, more than 40% of respondents believe their current mobile devices cannot cope with their work environment.
Both the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro are IP68 rated and meet the MIL-STD-810H standard for harsh environment durability. The devices are scratch-resistant, water- and dust-resistant, can withstand drops of up to 1.5 meters, and can function in extreme altitudes and temperatures.
The advanced Gloves Mode allows the screens of both devices to remain touch-responsive even if the user is wearing leather gloves. Even, the staff of Kruger Construction also noted that both devices provide excellent connectivity even behind steel barricades or in flooded basements. Galaxy XCover 6 Pro exclusively supports 5G and Wi-Fi 6E for ultra-fast connectivity.
Through both the Samsung rugged devices, the construction crew got creative. Krugers puts several tests but the performance of these devices exceeded expectations.
