3DescriptionCVE.org
In Modem, there is a possible system crash due to improper input validation. This could lead to local denial of service with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY01810811; Issue ID: MSV-9232.
AnalysisAI
Improper input validation in the modem firmware component of 22 MediaTek chipsets allows a local user-privileged process to trigger a system crash, resulting in a denial of service. The flaw, tracked as patch ID MOLY01810811 / MSV-9232, requires user interaction to trigger and is confined to an unprivileged local context, limiting its practical impact to availability disruption rather than data exposure or code execution. …
