Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: HUAWEI Mate 10 smartphones versions prior to ALP-AL00 8.1.0.311

Description: The issue is related to a use after free vulnerability on the mediaserver component. An attacker could trick the user into installing a malicious application, which causes the software to reference memory after it has been freed. This could potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations: For versions prior to ALP-AL00 8.1.0.311, update to version ALP-AL00 8.1.0.311 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the installation of applications from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
