In cmdq, there is a possible memory corruption due to a missing bounds check. This vulnerability (CVE-2023-20758) was disclosed in July 2023 and affects MediaTek chipsets. The vulnerability has been assigned a medium severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.4. It affects various MediaTek chipsets including MT6739, MT6768, MT6771, MT6781, MT6785, MT6833, MT6853, and others, running Android versions 12.0 and 13.0 (Mediatek Bulletin).

The vulnerability is classified as a Denial of Service (DoS) type vulnerability and is related to improper input validation (CWE-20). The issue stems from a missing bounds check in the cmdq component, which can lead to memory corruption. The vulnerability requires System execution privileges for exploitation, and no user interaction is needed (NVD).

If exploited, this vulnerability could lead to local denial of service on affected devices. The attack requires system execution privileges, making it a local attack vector rather than a remote one (Mediatek Bulletin).

MediaTek has notified device OEMs of the issue and provided corresponding security patches at least two months before the public disclosure. Users should ensure their devices are updated with the latest security patches provided by their device manufacturers (Mediatek Bulletin).
