An issue was discovered on Samsung mobile devices with M(6.0) software. The multiwindow_facade API allows attackers to cause a NullPointerException and system halt via an attempted screen touch of a non-existing display. The Samsung ID is SVE-2017-9383 (August 2017).
A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
