Description
In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service, if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY01775984; Issue ID: MSV-8907.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an out‑of‑bounds write in the Modem firmware caused by a missing bounds check. An attacker can trigger this through a rogue base station, with no additional execution privileges or user interaction required. The result of a successful exploitation is a denial of service to the user equipment, disrupting normal modem operation and service availability.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the MediaTek chipset used in Modem implementations. Specific firmware versions are not listed in the advisory. All devices running the impacted MediaTek firmware are potentially vulnerable until patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the described attack path—remote interaction via a rogue base station—indicates a practical exploitation scenario with no user interaction needed. Because the flaw causes a memory corruption that can bring the modem to a non‑operational state, the impact is significant, with a high potential to affect many devices that rely on the MediaTek chipset.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the MediaTek firmware update that includes patch MOLY01775984 as soon as it is available.
  • If immediate updating is not possible, restrict the device to known, authenticated base stations or disable the modem until the patch is applied.
  • If the device supports firmware integrity verification, enable it to prevent unauthorized or corrupted firmware from running.
