Remote Info Disclosure via Weak Crypto in Modem Firmware
CVE-2024-20070 Published on June 3, 2024

In modem, there is a possible information disclosure due to using risky cryptographic algorithm during connection establishment negotiation. This could lead to remote information disclosure, when weak encryption algorithm is used, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY00942482; Issue ID: MSV-1469.

Weakness Type

Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

The use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm is an unnecessary risk that may result in the exposure of sensitive information. The use of a non-standard algorithm is dangerous because a determined attacker may be able to break the algorithm and compromise whatever data has been protected. Well-known techniques may exist to break the algorithm.
