Summary
In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds read due to an incorrect 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: MOLY01599794; Issue ID: MSV-3708.
