The camera driver of MTK platform in Huawei smart phones with software of versions earlier than Nice-AL00C00B155 has a arbitrary memory write 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.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
