CVE-2025-68960

Local service interrupt via video-framework race

Published Jan 14, 2026 · Updated Jan 14, 2026

Race condition in the video framework of Huawei HarmonyOS 5.0.1 and 5.1.0 allows local users to interrupt video services. Huawei has not identified the shared resource, synchronization failure, triggering operation, or resulting failure mode within the video framework. Published assessments agree on local reachability but disagree on required privileges and impact beyond availability, so the confirmed consequence is limited to a service interrupt.
