Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
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. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
