Kernel memory disclosure and service interruption via use-after-free
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
Kernel use-after-free in affected Huawei EMUI and HarmonyOS versions allows local users to disclose memory and interrupt system service. Huawei has not published the affected object, code path, or operation that accesses memory after it is freed in the kernel module. Exploitation requires local high-privilege access, high-complexity conditions, and no user interaction; affected releases are EMUI 14.0.0, 14.2.0, and 15.0.0 and HarmonyOS 4.0.0, 4.2.0, 4.3.0, 4.3.1, 5.1.0, and 6.0.0.
