Honor 5A, published on 22 Nov 2017. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-2729 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Honor 5A. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2729/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2729/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-2729","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2729/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-2729","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r36m-m8f3-qqfx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Honor 5A bootloader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious app can trigger a buffer overflow in the Honor 5A bootloader, leading to arbitrary code execution or denial of service upon reboot.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"huawei","cpe":[{"product":"honor_5a_firmware","vendor":"huawei"},{"product":"p8_lite_firmware","vendor":"huawei"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The boot loaders in Honor 5A smart phones with software Versions earlier than CAM-TL00C01B193,Versions earlier than CAM-TL00HC00B193,Versions earlier than CAM-UL00C00B193 have a buffer overflow vulnerability.
