A use-after-free vulnerability in Huawei Mate 30 and P30 smartphones allows code execution if a user runs a crafted app.
Vulnerability
CVE-2020-9263 is a use-after-free vulnerability in HUAWEI Mate 30 (versions earlier than 10.1.0.150(C00E136R5P3)) and HUAWEI P30 (versions earlier than 10.1.0.160(C00E160R2P11)). The system references memory after it has been freed, leading to a potential memory corruption issue [1].
Exploitation
The attacker must trick the user into running a crafted application with common (non-root) privileges [1]. No other network position or authentication is required beyond local app execution. The specific sequence is not detailed in the available references.
Impact
Successful exploitation causes code execution on the device. The attacker gains the same privilege level as the application, which is common (user-level) [1].
Mitigation
Huawei has released software updates to fix this vulnerability. The resolved versions are 10.1.0.150(C00E136R5P3) for Mate 30 and 10.1.0.160(C00E160R2P11) for P30 [1]. Users should update their devices to these or later versions.
