CVE-2017-8140 is a memory double free vulnerability in the soundtrigger driver of Huawei P9 Plus smartphones running software versions earlier than VIE-AL10BC00B353. An attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into installing a malicious application, which then attempts to free specific memory multiple times. This can lead to a system crash or arbitrary code execution, earning a CVSSv3 score of 7.8 (High) due to its local attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
