Out-of-bounds memory access via unchecked input length
Published Feb 9, 2023 · Updated Mar 25, 2025
Improper input-length validation in Huawei HarmonyOS 2.0 and 3.0.0 and EMUI 12.0.1 allows remote attackers to access memory out of bounds. The geofencing kernel code consumes input data without verifying its length before memory access. Exploitation is network-reachable and requires no authentication or user interaction; public sources do not disclose the affected interface or whether the access reads or writes memory.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
