Out-of-bounds read in the HarmonyOS 5.0.0 image decoding module allows remote attackers to interrupt service through crafted image data. The module reads beyond an allocated buffer while decoding attacker-controlled image input; Huawei has not disclosed the affected parser or code path. Exploitation requires user interaction and affects availability only, with no reported ability to disclose or modify data.
