CVE-2026-66086: Unisoc modem OTA stack buffer overflow in SIB1 message handling

CVE-2026-66086 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-10-12

Unisoc modem chipsets contain a stack-based buffer overflow in the cellular OTA (over-the-air) stack when processing SIB1 scheduling messages. An attacker on the network can send a crafted cellular message to trigger remote code execution or crash the modem, potentially compromising the entire mobile device.

Vendors: Unisoc.
