## Summary

The Modem component (cellular baseband firmware) in affected devices contains a flaw that could let an attacker crash or disrupt the modem. An attacker operating a rogue base station could cause a remote denial of service on a device that connects to it, without user interaction.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- MediaTek, Inc. MediaTek chipset: MT2716, MT2735, MT2737, MT6739, MT6761, MT6762, MT6763, MT6765, MT6767, MT6768, MT6769, MT6771, MT6779, MT6781, MT6783, MT6785, MT6789, MT6813, MT6815, MT6833, MT6835, MT6853, MT6855, MT6858, MT6873, MT6875, MT6877, MT6878, MT6879, MT6880, and 47 more

## Description

In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service, if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY01775984; Issue ID: MSV-8907.
