Local function disruption via dangling cjwindow pointer
Published Aug 6, 2025 · Updated Aug 6, 2025
Use-after-free in Huawei HarmonyOS 5.1.0 cjwindow allows local users to disrupt window-function stability through local access. The cjwindow module retains or dereferences a pointer after its allocation has been freed, but Huawei has not disclosed the triggering operation or input. Exploitation requires low-privilege local access and can impair function stability; no confidentiality impact or remote reachability is reported.
