MediaTek Modem Null Pointer Dereference Vulnerability Leading to Remote Denial-of-Service

Vulnerability

A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in the MediaTek Modem, specifically in several chipsets including the MT2735, MT2737, and MT6833 series, among others. This vulnerability arises from a missing bounds check, which can cause a system crash. The issue can be exploited remotely, particularly when a user equipment (UE) is connected to a rogue base station controlled by an attacker. Notably, no additional execution privileges are required for exploitation, and user interaction is not needed.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can cause a system crash, leading to a remote denial-of-service condition.

Remediation

MediaTek has issued patches for this vulnerability, which can be applied by device manufacturers. Specific patch IDs are MOLY00791311 and MOLY01067019.
