Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
In sec boot, there is a possible out of bounds write due to an integer overflow. This could lead to local denial of service, if an attacker has physical access to the device, with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS09963054; Issue ID: MSV-3899.
AnalysisAI
Integer overflow in MediaTek secure boot (sec boot) leads to out-of-bounds write causing local denial of service on affected MediaTek chipsets. Attack requires physical device access and local user execution privileges, with no user interaction needed. EPSS score of 0.02% and CISA SSVC assessment of 'none' exploitation status indicate low real-world risk despite the moderate CVSS base score of 4.3.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in the secure boot component of MediaTek chipsets, specifically in integer handling that fails to validate bounds before memory operations. This is classified as CWE-787 (out-of-bounds write), which occurs when an integer overflow calculation produces a value that bypasses buffer bounds checks, allowing writes beyond allocated memory regions. The affected products are MediaTek chipsets including the MT6813, which are widely integrated into mobile and IoT devices. The physical attack vector requirement significantly constrains exploitation scenarios, as it mandates direct hardware access to the target device.
RemediationAI
MediaTek has released a patch identified as ALPS09963054 (Issue ID: MSV-3899) to address the integer overflow in secure boot. Devices should be updated to firmware versions incorporating this patch via manufacturer-issued over-the-air (OTA) updates or through direct device firmware updates available from the product vendor. No workarounds are available for this hardware-level vulnerability; patching or firmware update is the only mitigation. Reference MediaTek's Product Security Bulletin (https://corp.mediatek.com/product-security-bulletin/April-2026) and the National Vulnerability Database entry (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-20446) for specific device model guidance and update availability.
