Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:23

The camera driver of MTK platform in Huawei smart phones with software of versions earlier than Nice-AL00C00B155 has a buffer overflow vulnerability.Due to the insufficient input verification, an attacker tricks a user into installing a malicious application which has special privilege and sends a specific parameter to the driver of the smart phone, causing privilege escalation. Huawei Smartphone software MTK The platform contains a buffer error vulnerability.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Huawei Enjoy 6 is a smartphone from China's Huawei company. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Huawei mobile phone driver using the MTK platform. The vulnerability was caused by the device failing to adequately verify user input. Huawei Smart Phones are prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. Local attackers may exploit this issue to gain elevated privileges. Versions prior to Nice AL00C00B155 are vulnerable

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
