CVE-2022-25728Network attack vector

Information disclosure via DNS response buffer over-read

Published Feb 9, 2023 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Buffer over-read in Qualcomm Snapdragon modem firmware allows remote attackers to disclose information through a crafted DNS response. The modem's DNS-response processing reads beyond the response buffer; Qualcomm has not disclosed the specific routine or failed bounds check. Exploitation requires delivery of a crafted DNS response to the modem, and Qualcomm reports information disclosure with limited service interruption.
