Availability degradation via event notification race condition
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
Race condition in the HarmonyOS 5.1.0 and 6.0.0 event notification module allows local users to degrade service availability. Huawei has not disclosed the shared resource, competing operations, or synchronization error within the module. Exploitation requires low privileges, local access, high complexity, and user interaction; the reported impact is limited to availability degradation.
