Low · published October 6, 2021
CVSS calls it low at 3.3. It is confirmed in active exploitation. It sits in the 44.0th percentile for exploit probability.
⚠️ A missing input validation in the modem interface driver could lead to a kernel panic if attackers gain radio permissions! 😱 Think of this like a restaurant that doesn’t check the ingredients being brought in — one wrong order could lead to a kitchen meltdown! If exploited, this vulnerability could cause the system to crash unexpectedly, leading to service interruptions. While its severity is low, the resulting kernel panic could still disrupt operations, creating a frustrating experience for users.
Think of this like a restaurant that doesn’t check the ingredients being brought in — one wrong order could lead to a kitchen meltdown! This format string vulnerability arises from inadequate input validation in the modem interface driver, which can lead to a kernel panic when exploited by an attacker with radio permission.
If exploited, this vulnerability could cause the system to crash unexpectedly, leading to service interruptions. While its severity is low, the resulting kernel panic could still disrupt operations, creating a frustrating experience for users. Ensure you update to the SMR Oct-2021 Release 1 or later to patch this vulnerability. Additionally, review your input validation practices to fortify your systems against similar issues in the future. You can tackle this! Patch your systems and you’ll be back on track in no time. 🛡️
