Information disclosure via out-of-bounds Gallery write
Published Feb 6, 2025 · Updated Sep 18, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in the Gallery module in Huawei HarmonyOS 5.0.0 allows local users to expose service data through user interaction. The Gallery module writes outside an intended memory boundary, but Huawei has not disclosed the affected routine, input, or memory object. Exploitation requires local access and user interaction; the disclosed consequence is exposure of service-confidentiality data.
