Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-61614 is a vulnerability in the nr modem component, stemming from improper input validation (CWE-20). This flaw can cause a system crash, affecting devices that incorporate the nr modem, such as those using Unisoc chipsets. The issue was published on 2026-03-09 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating high severity primarily due to its impact on availability.
The vulnerability enables a remote denial-of-service attack with no additional execution privileges required. Attackers can exploit it over the network with low complexity and no user interaction, triggering a system crash that disrupts service without compromising confidentiality or integrity.
Unisoc has published an advisory at https://www.unisoc.com/en/support/announcement/2030931350138310657, which provides details on the issue relevant to mitigation efforts for affected products.
