Last modified

CVE-2018-9371 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.4/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Mediatek Preloader, there are out of bounds reads and writes due to an exposed interface that allows arbitrary peripheral memory mapping with insufficient blacklisting/whitelisting. This could lead to local elevation of privilege, given physical access to the device with no additional execution privileges needed. EPSS estimates a 0.09% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
