Impact

A missing bounds check in the GNSS component of MediaTek chipsets can allow an out‑of‑bounds write, leading to a local denial of service. The flaw does not grant additional privileges and requires the user to interact with the device to trigger the exploit, making it a local attack vector.

Affected Systems

The affected party is MediaTek, Inc., specifically its chipsets used in consumer electronics. No specific versions or CPE identifiers are listed, so all current implementations of the GNSS firmware could be vulnerable unless an update has been applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The exploit is limited to local users with physical access and does not enable remote code execution or privilege escalation. EPSS information is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalogue, indicating a lower likelihood of widespread exploitation. The absence of a CVSS score and the requirement for user interaction suggest that the risk to end users is moderate but still significant enough to warrant timely remediation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the MediaTek firmware update that includes patch ID ALPS11309305 (Issue MSV‑10730) to fix the out‑of‑bounds write flaw.
  • If a firmware update cannot be applied immediately, disable or restrict the GNSS service in device settings to eliminate the possibility of a denial‑of‑service attack.
  • Monitor device logs for abnormal GNSS activity and schedule regular firmware checks to ensure that all security patches are installed promptly.
