  - oFono SimToolKit Heap-based Buffer Overflow Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows
    local attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of oFono. An attacker must first
    obtain the ability to execute code on the target modem in order to exploit this vulnerability. The
    specific flaw exists within the parsing of STK command PDUs. The issue results from the lack of proper
    validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can
    leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-23457.
