Summary

The modem of MediaTek chipsets MT2716, MT6835, MT6858, MT6878, MT6881 and other models has an integer overflow that leads to an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125). A remote attacker operating a rogue base station can trigger it when a user equipment device connects to that station, without additional execution privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation causes a denial of service.
