CVE-2017-8186

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Huawei mobile phones with software earlier than MHA-AL00BC00B231

Description The issue is related to a lack of parameter validation, which can lead to a denial-of-service (DOS) condition. An attacker could potentially trick a user into installing a malicious application (APP) that modifies specific parameters to cause the system to reboot.

Recommendations For versions earlier than MHA-AL00BC00B231, consider restricting the installation of applications from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using applications that request modification of system parameters until a patch is available.
