SBA Research is a research center for Information Security funded partly by the national initiative for COMET Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies.
true to our vision statement, being the crystallization point of security research in Austria, we support the proposal for a new K1 research center. SBA Research (Edgar Weippl) coordinates jointly with the University of Vienna (Stefanie Rinderle-Ma) the fundamental research activities in Area 2 “Cryptography, Technology & Security”. (ABC,… Read More

Together with sipgate and ISMK Stralsund, Gabriel Gegenhuber, researcher at SBA Research and University of Vienna, and Michael Pucher, researcher at SBA research, discovered and investigated a vulnerability in the Voice of LTE (VoLTE) stack that is broadly used within MediaTek-based smartphones. ∞
In the Mediatek modem, there is a possible system crash due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service, if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. ∞
