CVE-2026-20552: MediaTek ccci out of bounds write

CVE-2026-20552 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-02

MediaTek's ccci component, found in cellular modems and chipsets used in smartphones and IoT devices, contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability due to missing bounds checking. An attacker with network access can remotely trigger a denial of service condition by causing the device to crash or become unresponsive, requiring only user interaction for exploitation.

Technologies: MediaTek MT2735, MediaTek MT2737, MediaTek MT6813, MediaTek Mt6880, MediaTek Mt6890, MediaTek Mt6980d, MediaTek Mt6982, MediaTek Mt6986. Vendors: MediaTek.

Technical details

The ccci (Cross Core Communication Interface) component lacks proper input validation on buffer writes, allowing an out-of-bounds write condition. The vulnerability is triggered remotely and requires user interaction but needs no special privileges. Successful exploitation leads to denial of service; patches are available for affected chipsets.
