Unauthenticated service interruption via undisclosed configuration defects
Published Sep 16, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Configuration defects in Huawei HarmonyOS 2.0 and 2.1 and EMUI 12.0.0 allow remote attackers to interrupt service through the secure OS module. Huawei has not disclosed the affected configuration setting, the unsafe value or operation, or how attacker-controlled input reaches the module. No authentication or user action is required to reach the affected path; the reported consequence is limited to service availability.
