CVE-2025-21483 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability in Qualcomm Data Network Stack and Connectivity components. The flaw is triggered when a user equipment device receives a crafted RTP packet from the network during reassembly of Network Abstraction Layer Units used by video streaming codecs such as H.264, H.265, and H.266. Available reporting indicates the vulnerable code does not properly restrict operations within the bounds of a memory buffer while processing malformed or oversized NALU data, leading to heap memory corruption during RTP/NALU reassembly in low-level Qualcomm firmware. Because the affected code resides in privileged closed-source communication firmware, successful exploitation may enable arbitrary code execution in a highly trusted execution context.
