CVE-2024-23352
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedTransient DOS when NAS receives ODAC criteria of length 1 and type 1 in registration accept OTA.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is a denial of service vulnerability in Network Access Server (NAS) equipment where processing of specific ODAC (Object Data Access Criteria) parameters during OTA (Over-The-Air) registration accept messages causes a transient crash or hang. The vulnerability is triggered by receiving ODAC criteria with length=1 and type=1, indicating a lack of proper bounds checking or error handling for this specific parameter combination.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the firmware version on the deviceCheck the device firmware version via system info, bootloader, or modem diagnostic interface. For Qualcomm devices, this can often be retrieved via AT commands (AT+CGMR or AT+GMR), through the /proc/version or /proc/cpuinfo files on embedded Linux systems, or via vendor-specific diagnostic tools.Affected if The device runs any firmware version on the listed affected chipsets (sm8150 Ac, Wsa8845h, Wsa8845, Wsa8840, Wsa8835, Wsa8832, Wsa8830, Wsa8815).
-
Determine if OTA registration processing is enabledCheck device configuration or network settings to see if Over-The-Air (OTA) registration accept message processing is active. This is typically found in NAS (Network Access Server) configuration, modem settings, or radio protocol stack configuration.Affected if The device processes OTA registration accept messages. If OTA registration is disabled or not used, the vulnerability is not triggerable.
-
Inspect ODAC parameter handling in network logsMonitor or capture network traffic during OTA registration. Look for ODAC (Object Data Access Criteria) parameters in registration accept messages. Use protocol analyzers or vendor diagnostic tools that can decode NAS/RRC messages containing ODAC criteria.Affected if The device receives ODAC criteria with length=1 and type=1 in OTA registration accept messages. This specific combination triggers the lack of bounds checking.
-
Check for service interruptions after OTA registrationMonitor device logs (modem logs, kernel logs, system logs) around the time of OTA registration for crash reports, hang events, or unexpected resets. Look for patterns indicating NAS processing failures.Affected if The device experiences transient crashes or hangs immediately after processing OTA registration accept messages containing the specific ODAC parameters.
The device is affected if it runs firmware on any of the listed Qualcomm chipsets AND processes OTA registration accept messages with ODAC criteria where length=1 and type=1.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor firmware/software updates to NAS equipment that address proper validation and error handling for ODAC criteria parameters. Until patched, monitor for service interruptions and implement network-level filtering if the vendor provides specific signatures.
