- Initial Release Date: May 20, 2016
- Last Release Date: Aug 24, 2016
Huawei smart phones have two authentication bypass vulnerabilities. An attacker may tricks users into installing a malicious app, and the app could exploit these vulnerabilities to bypass the permission checks, controlling partial module functions (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2016-03013), and deleting partial data of users (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2016-05018).
Huawei smart phones have a buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker may tricks users into installing a malicious app, and the app could exploit this vulnerability to crash the system. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2016-05019)
Vulnerability HWPSIRT-2016-03013 has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID: CVE-2016-5230.
