What to do

AI-suggested

1. Apply the official patches from MediaTek (Patch ID: MOLY01270690) as soon as they become available to affected devices and firmware versions. 2. Telecom operators should monitor and detect rogue base stations within their networks using radio frequency monitoring tools and anomaly detection systems to prevent UE from connecting to malicious infrastructure. 3. Device manufacturers should update firmware and distribute security updates promptly to end-users. 4. Enterprises should implement network segmentation and restrict critical systems’ exposure to cellular networks where possible. 5. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of identifying modem crashes or abnormal behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. Encourage users to avoid connecting to unknown or suspicious cellular networks, especially in sensitive environments. 7. Collaborate with telecom regulators to enforce stricter controls on base station certification and deployment to reduce rogue station risks.

Description

In Modem, there is a possible system crash 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: MOLY01270690; Issue ID: MSV-4301.
