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.

    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 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.

    We have identified a new stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Mediatek’s Linux Kernel driver implementation of cellular-to-application processor communication interface (CCCI). The vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious (compromised) baseband runtime to achieve arbitrary code execution in the Linux Kernel.
The vulnerability we are disclosing in this advisory affected a wide range of Mediatek devices, including phones on the newest chipsets (Dimensity 700, 1000, etc). The July 2022 issue of the Mediatek Security Bulletin contains this vulnerability as CVE-2022-21766.
Vulnerability Details There is a kernel stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the implementation of the modem-kernel communication interface. The stack overflow can be used to overwrite the return address of a kernel function, with attacker controlled data.
  
 
  
  
  
    We have identified a new heap buffer overflow vulnerability in Mediatek’s baseband implementation. The vulnerability can be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution in the baseband runtime.
