Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-125 and the CVSS impact.
Summary
CWE-125 out-of-bounds read in the ip_stack component of MediaTek chipsets, caused by improper input validation, affects chipsets including MT2716, MT2735, MT2737, MT6813, MT6815 and other models. A UE connected to a rogue base station controlled by an attacker can suffer a remote denial of service, with no additional execution privileges and no user interaction needed. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (MEDIUM).

Description from the CNA
In ip_stack, there is a possible out of bounds read due to improper input validation. 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: MOLY01387180; Issue ID: MSV-5152.
