Huawei Smartphone Out-of-Bounds Read/Write Vulnerability in Configuration Module
CVE-2020-9211 Published on December 27, 2024
There is an out-of-bound read and write vulnerability in Huawei smartphone. A module dose not verify the input sufficiently. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by modifying some configuration to cause out-of-bound read and write, causing denial of service. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2020-05103) This vulnerability has been assigned a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID: CVE-2020-9211.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2020-9211 can be exploited with local system access, and requires user privileges. This vulnerability is consided to have a high level of attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to be very high.
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
