Modem OOB Write RCE via Rogue Base Station (UE)
CVE-2025-20634 Published on February 3, 2025

Vulnerability Analysis
Weakness Type
What is a Memory Corruption Vulnerability?
The software writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can result in corruption of data, a crash, or code execution. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent write operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
CVE-2025-20634 has been classified to as a Memory Corruption vulnerability or weakness.
