Executive brief
A Qualcomm component used for wireless communication exhibits a denial of service vulnerability during frame parsing operations on communication channels. An attacker can trigger a transient service disruption by sending specially crafted frames, temporarily impacting system availability without requiring authentication.
Technical details
This vulnerability is a denial of service condition triggered during frame parsing operations within Qualcomm wireless communication components. The root cause lies in insufficient input validation or error handling when processing network frames on active communication channels. An attacker can exploit this by sending malformed or specially crafted frames over the network without requiring authentication, causing the affected component to enter a transient error state that disrupts service availability. The impact is limited to temporary availability loss rather than data compromise or privilege escalation. A patch is expected from Qualcomm through their security bulletin.
