Short explanation

A missing bounds check in the MediaTek modem leads to an out-of-bounds write that can cause remote denial-of-service. Exploitation requires the attacker to have System privileges and the user to connect to a rogue base station; user interaction is needed. Patch status is not confirmed in official sources.

Why does it matter?

The flaw can cause service interruptions in mobile networks, degrading user experience and connectivity.

What should be done?

  • Monitor MediaTek security bulletins for patch announcements
  • Apply the vendor‑provided patch (e.g., MOLY01923663 / ALPS11315955) when released
  • Ensure UEs connect only to trusted base stations
  • Enable network authentication and integrity checks
  • Deploy IDS/IPS to detect rogue base stations

Show the technical text from the sources

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, if a malicious actor has already obtained the System privilege. User interaction is needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY01923663 / ALPS11315955; Issue ID: MSV-10866.
