Memory disclosure and corruption via malformed messages
Published Sep 20, 2022 · Updated May 28, 2025
Out-of-bounds access in Huawei headset firmware allows physically proximate attackers to read and overwrite memory via malformed messages. The message parser insufficiently validates a specific parameter before using it for memory access, but Huawei has not identified the affected function or message format. The attacker must obtain and physically access the headset; the documented consequence is out-of-bounds memory disclosure and modification.
