DescriptionCVE.org
In MM_DATA_IND of cn_NrSmMsgHdlrFromMM.cpp, there is a possible EoP due to memory corruption. This could lead to remote escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
Executive ViewAI
A critical remote privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-0110) affects messaging infrastructure with a CVSS score of 9.8, allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated system access without special privileges. This poses immediate risk to any organization running affected systems, potentially compromising sensitive data and operational continuity. With no patch currently available, rapid mitigation measures are essential to prevent exploitation.
Network segmentation to restrict untrusted access to affected systems; disable the MM_DATA_IND messaging handler if functionally possible; implement strict input validation and WAF rules blocking suspicious messaging payloads; enhanced monitoring and alerting for memory corruption indicators; consider temporary disabling of remote messaging features; implement principle of least privilege for affected service accounts; maintain offline backups in case of compromise.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
