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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Huawei Mate 9 Pro versions prior to LON-AL00B 8.0.0.356(C00)

Description: The issue is related to insufficient parameters verification in the GPU driver, which can lead to an arbitrary memory free vulnerability. An attacker can trick a user into installing a malicious application and send specific parameters to the driver to release special kernel memory resources. This could result in a phone crash or potentially allow for arbitrary code execution.

Recommendations: For versions prior to LON-AL00B 8.0.0.356(C00), update to version LON-AL00B 8.0.0.356(C00) 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.
