    Urrg! I have one of those CPUs. (Exynos 9820) I don’t want to upgrade with an expensive new phone. I get no longer security updates.

      Ugh, I’m in the same boat. s10e, I have zero complaint other than the EOL security update. Bought it 2nd hand two years ago.

      There’s nothing in the market with similar price with the spec and size of my current phone.

    A National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) advisory on the bug describes it as “an issue [that] was discovered in the m2m scaler driver in Samsung Mobile Processor and Wearable Processor Exynos 9820, 9825, 980, 990, 850, and W920.” A use-after-free bug in the mobile processor ultimately leads to privilege escalation, the agency added.
