CVE-2024-54106Network attack vector

Availability impairment via image-decoder null dereference

Published Dec 12, 2024 · Updated Dec 12, 2024

Null pointer dereference in Huawei HarmonyOS 5.0.0 image decoding allows attackers to impair availability via network-delivered input. The image-decoding module dereferences a null pointer while processing input, but Huawei has not disclosed the affected routine or triggering field. Exploitation requires user interaction and can impair availability and limited integrity, with no reported confidentiality impact.
