CVE-2019-5303

Device reboot via malformed TD-SCDMA message values

Published Apr 27, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Denial of service in Huawei smartphone message parsing allows adjacent attackers to reboot affected devices with crafted TD-SCDMA messages. The parser insufficiently validates two message values, permitting an infinite loop that forces the handset to reboot. Exploitation requires the device to operate in TD-SCDMA mode within range of an attacker-controlled rogue base station.
