CVE-2026-41982

Service disruption via IPC race condition

Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026

Race condition in the IPC module in Huawei HarmonyOS 5.1.0, 6.0.0, and 6.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to disrupt availability. The CNA maps the flaw to use-after-free, but Huawei has not disclosed the affected IPC object or the unsynchronized operation that releases it. Network access and low privileges are required; the published material does not distinguish a hang, crash, reboot, or narrower service interruption.
