CVE-2017-8149

CVE-2017-8149 is an out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability in the bootloaders of specific Huawei P10 and P10 Plus phone models due to insufficient parameter validation. An attacker with root privileges on an Android system could trick a user into installing a malicious application. This application could then modify data, leading to a buffer overflow during the next system reboot, which causes continuous system reboots. Rated as Medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability requires user interaction and local access, primarily impacting availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
