Root privilege escalation via integer overflow
Published Jun 30, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Integer overflow in Huawei EMUI 10.1.1 and 11.0.0 and Magic UI 3.1.1 and 4.0.0 allows remote attackers to obtain root access via network input. Huawei identifies memory leaks and out-of-bounds access but does not disclose the affected component, the input that reaches it, or the incorrect arithmetic operation. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation grants root-level control of the affected phone.
