CVE-2025-20757

Published: 2025-12-02 03:16:17
Last Modified: 2026-02-17 15:16:17

Description

In Modem, there is a possible system crash due to improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service, if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY01673751; Issue ID: MSV-4644.
