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 T8100/T9100/T8200/T8300 modem firmware allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash or render the modem inoperable through crafted network input. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) confirms exploitation requires no authentication, no user interaction, and low complexity, making any exposed device potentially reachable. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the low barrier to exploitation warrants prompt firmware patching.
Technical ContextAI
The affected components are the modem subsystems embedded in Unisoc (Shanghai) Technologies T8100, T9100, T8200, and T8300 chipsets, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:unisoc_(shanghai)_technologies_co.,_ltd.:t8100/t9100/t8200/t8300. These are system-on-chip (SoC) modem processors used in budget and mid-range Android devices, primarily deployed in emerging markets. The flaw is an improper input validation defect - characteristic of CWE-20 - in the modem's handling of externally supplied network data (e.g., radio-layer or protocol-stack packets). Failure to validate input before processing allows a malformed message to trigger abnormal modem state, resulting in a denial of service. The CWE field in the NVD entry is absent, preventing precise root-cause classification beyond what the description implies.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to apply modem firmware updates distributed by device OEMs incorporating the fix from Unisoc's security bulletin (https://www.unisoc.com/en/support/product-security-bulletin/2084109408382668801). End users should check for over-the-air (OTA) system updates from their device manufacturer. An exact patched firmware version number is not independently confirmed from the available data - the Unisoc advisory should be consulted directly. If firmware updates are unavailable or delayed by the OEM, a compensating control is to restrict exposure to untrusted cellular networks where feasible, though this trades connectivity for protection. There are no documented workarounds short of a full firmware patch. Disabling the modem entirely would eliminate the attack surface but also eliminate cellular functionality, an impractical trade-off for most use cases.
