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 Unisoc modem firmware affects T8100, T9100, T8200, and T8300 chipsets due to improper input validation in the modem stack. Unauthenticated remote attackers can crash or render the modem unresponsive - severing cellular connectivity on affected devices - without requiring any privileges or user interaction. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the network-accessible, zero-complexity attack path represents a meaningful availability risk for devices dependent on continuous cellular communication.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the modem firmware component of Unisoc (Shanghai) Technologies chipsets T8100, T9100, T8200, and T8300, as identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:unisoc_(shanghai)_technologies_co.,_ltd.:t8100/t9100/t8200/t8300. The modem stack processes baseband protocol data received over cellular radio interfaces (e.g., LTE/5G NR control plane or data plane messages). Improper input validation - the root cause class per the description, though no formal CWE is assigned - means the firmware fails to adequately sanitize or bounds-check incoming packets or protocol fields before processing them. A malformed or crafted cellular message can trigger an unhandled condition causing the modem process to fault or crash. Unisoc chipsets are primarily deployed in budget Android smartphones targeting emerging markets; the T8100/T9100/T8200/T8300 series represent mid-to-budget tier SoC families.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to apply the modem firmware patch released by Unisoc, as referenced in their product security bulletin at https://www.unisoc.com/en/support/product-security-bulletin/2084109408382668801. Device OEMs integrating T8100/T9100/T8200/T8300 chipsets must incorporate the updated modem binary into their device firmware and distribute it via OTA update to end users. No specific patched firmware version number was provided in the available data; administrators and device owners should monitor Unisoc's bulletin and OEM-specific security advisories for version confirmation. As a compensating control where a patch cannot be immediately applied, organizations managing fleets of affected devices should consider restricting cellular radio exposure - for example, disabling cellular data and limiting to Wi-Fi-only operation reduces the protocol attack surface, though it does not eliminate the baseband radio exposure entirely. Rogue base station attacks cannot be mitigated at the device level without patching; network-level controls such as deploying only on private LTE networks with known infrastructure can reduce exposure in managed deployments. The trade-off of Wi-Fi-only mode is loss of cellular voice and data capability.
