CVE-2017-8170: Huawei Vie-l09 Firmware

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Huawei smart phones with software earlier than VIE-L09C40B360 versions have a buffer overflow vulnerability due to the lack of parameter validation. An attacker tricks a user into installing a malicious APP which has the root privilege; the APP can send a specific parameter to the smart phone, causing the smartphone restart or arbitrary code execution.

Affected products

• Huawei Vie-l09 Firmware: before vie-l09c40b360 (fixed in vie-l09c40b360)
