CVE-2022-48514Network attack vector

Information disclosure via improper Netlink permission control

Published Jul 6, 2023 · Updated Nov 19, 2024

Information exposure in Huawei HarmonyOS 2.1.0 allows remote attackers to read sensitive data through Netlink access. The Sepolicy module applies inappropriate permission controls when authorizing Netlink use; Huawei has not disclosed the affected policy rule or message path. Network reachability without authentication or user interaction is sufficient, and the reported consequence is limited to confidentiality.
