DescriptionCVE.org

In modem, there is a possible improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed

AnalysisAI

Remote denial of service in the Unisoc modem component of T8100, T9100, T8200, and T8300 chipsets allows unauthenticated network-adjacent or remote attackers to crash the modem by sending malformed input, severing cellular connectivity on affected devices. The CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H vector confirms no privileges or user interaction are required, and the attack surface is the baseband network interface. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the modem firmware of Unisoc chipset families T8100, T9100, T8200, and T8300, as identified by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:unisoc_(shanghai)_technologies_co.,_ltd.:t8100/t9100/t8200/t8300. Unisoc (formerly Spreadtrum Communications) is a Chinese semiconductor company producing SoCs primarily for budget and mid-range Android smartphones, with significant market presence in emerging markets. The modem component handles the cellular protocol stack - including LTE and potentially NR (5G) baseband processing - and is responsible for parsing network-layer signaling data. Although no CWE is formally assigned, the vendor description explicitly names improper input validation as the root cause class, meaning the modem processes externally supplied data without sufficient type, bounds, or format checking, causing a crash or unresponsive state when malformed input is received.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to apply the modem firmware patch distributed via Unisoc's security bulletin at https://www.unisoc.com/en/support/product-security-bulletin/2084109408382668801. OEMs (device manufacturers) using T8100, T9100, T8200, or T8300 chipsets must integrate the patched modem firmware into Android security update packages and push updates to end users; end users should apply available OEM security updates promptly. No exact patched firmware version number is independently confirmed from the available data - OEMs should contact Unisoc directly for the specific patched binary. As a compensating control where patching is not yet available, restricting device use to trusted cellular networks and avoiding unknown or rogue base stations may reduce exposure, though this does not eliminate the vulnerability and has significant operational impact on device usability.
