CVE-2025-20792

Published: 2025-12-02 03:16:20
Last Modified: 2025-12-03 20:32:41

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: MOLY01717526; Issue ID: MSV-5591.
