CVE-2021-37119Network attack vector

Wi-Fi service interruption via undisclosed logic flaw

Published Jan 3, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Service-logic failure in Huawei EMUI, Magic UI, and HarmonyOS allows remote attackers to interrupt Wi-Fi service via WLAN traffic. Huawei has not published the flawed service, request field, or incorrect operation that processes the WLAN input. Network reachability to the affected phone is required, and the documented consequence is limited to loss of Wi-Fi availability rather than a device crash.
