An attacker sending a malformed SIP message over VoLTE to a device with a Mediatek baseband can trigger the vulnerability described here.
The impact is DoS in the baseband, triggered by malformed VoLTE message such as SIP INVITE or MESSAGE request.
The vulnerability described in this advisory affected a wide range of Mediatek devices. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2025-20725.
Vulnerability Details A large number of memory allocations can be triggered via malformed SDP contents unknown by Mediatek’s baseband implementation (e.g. with a key of two octet). During failure, some special cases bail out without first freeing the earlier allocations, and losing the single pointer to the area.

The vulnerability described in this advisory affected a wide range of Mediatek devices. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2025-20725.
Vulnerability Details Crash happens due to a NULL access.
sip_msg_content_type_compatible assumes a content type with a subcontenttype (e.g. text/plain), but inet_msg_unpack_content_type accepts a content type without a subcontenttype (e.g. text).

The impact is DoS in the baseband, triggered by malformed VoLTE message such as SIP INVITE or MESSAGE request.
The vulnerability described in this advisory affected a wide range of Mediatek devices. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2025-20725.
Vulnerability Details Crash happens due to a NULL access.
The crash happens in sdp_msg_create_negotiation_sdp.
It is caused by a malformed audio attribute for RTP/AVP resulting in a NULL pointer access, which crashes the modem.
Example payload The following SIP messages were tested:
