Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Huawei Mate 9 Pro versions before LON-AL00B 8.0.0.340a(C00)

Description: The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the Near Field Communication (NFC) module due to insufficient input validation. This could allow an attacker to inject malicious data into a target mobile phone using an NFC card reader or another device. A successful exploit may result in system restart or arbitrary code execution.

Recommendations: For versions before LON-AL00B 8.0.0.340a(C00), update to version LON-AL00B 8.0.0.340a(C00) or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the NFC module until a patch is available. Restrict access to the NFC functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
