Short explanation

A faulty bounds check in the MediaTek modem can cause an out-of-bounds write leading to remote denial of service. An attacker‑controlled rogue base station can trigger the flaw when a UE connects; no user interaction or additional execution privileges are required. (S0, S1)

Why does it matter?

The flaw can cause service interruptions in mobile networks, affecting user experience and network reliability.

What should be done?

  • Monitor MediaTek’s official security bulletin.
  • Since patch status is unverified, follow the vendor advisory.
  • Deploy detection and blocking for rogue base stations in the network.
  • Apply temporary mitigations until updates for affected chipsets are released.
