In slbc, there is a possible out of bounds write due to type confusion. This could lead to local escalation of privilege if a malicious actor has already obtained the System privilege. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS10828685; Issue ID: MSV-6504.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds write in MediaTek's slbc (secure local buffer component) due to type confusion allows local privilege escalation to full system compromise when an attacker already holds System privilege. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and affects 32 MediaTek chipset models. CISA SSVC framework rates technical impact as total; however, EPSS score of 0.02% suggests limited real-world exploitation despite the high CVSS score of 6.7, likely due to the requirement for pre-existing System privilege.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in slbc, a component of MediaTek chipsets responsible for secure local buffer operations. Type confusion in this context means the code incorrectly interprets or casts a data type, leading to CWE-843 (Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type - Type Confusion). This type confusion triggers an out-of-bounds write, a memory corruption flaw that allows writing data beyond allocated buffer boundaries. The affected chipsets span multiple product lines (MT8xxx, MT6xxx series), suggesting the vulnerable code path is shared across MediaTek's platform software stack. The local attack vector (AV:L) and high privilege requirement (PR:H - System privilege) indicate this is not a remote vulnerability but rather a privilege escalation within a device already compromised or misused by a privileged actor.
RemediationAI
Apply firmware update corresponding to MediaTek Patch ID ALPS10828685, which addresses the type confusion and out-of-bounds write vulnerability. Device vendors (Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, etc.) who manufacture phones and tablets using affected MediaTek chipsets must release over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates that incorporate this patch. Users should check their device manufacturer's security bulletin and install all available security updates. No workaround exists for this vulnerability once System privilege is obtained by a malicious actor, as the flaw is in privileged chipset firmware code; mitigation must occur at the firmware level. Organizations managing devices with affected MediaTek chipsets should enforce software update policies and monitor for firmware release notifications from their device vendors. Full device protection requires firmware version corresponding to or later than the patched ALPS10828685 build.
