CVE-2019-14012Network attack vector

Remote crash via unchecked video-codec array

Published Apr 16, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Null-pointer dereference in Qualcomm Snapdragon modem data allows remote attackers to crash SDP processing through crafted messages. While processing SDP messages, the modem data path dereferences the video-codec array from media information without first checking whether the array is null. The unauthenticated network path requires no user interaction; triggering the dereference interrupts availability without exposing or modifying data.
