Technical details

An improper input validation vulnerability (CWE-20) exists in the Modem IMS component of multiple Unisoc chipsets. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to send malformed packets over the network to trigger a system crash or a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the modem. The vulnerability affects chipsets running Android versions 13 through 16. Successful exploitation results in the loss of cellular functionality, including voice calls and data, until the modem or device is reset. Unisoc has released a security bulletin detailing the affected chipsets, including the T-series and SC-series models.
