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-2017-8208 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. honor 5C,honor 6x. 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-2017-8208/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8208/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8208","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8208/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8208","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cpg4-8mgp-j5rj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Huawei smartphone driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious app with root privileges can trigger a buffer overflow in Huawei smartphone drivers, leading to arbitrary code execution or system reboot.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"huawei","cpe":[{"product":"honor_5c_firmware","vendor":"huawei"},{"product":"honor_6x_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 driver of honor 5C,honor 6x Huawei smart phones with software of versions earlier than NEM-AL10C00B356, versions earlier than Berlin-L21HNC432B360 have a buffer overflow vulnerability due to the lack of parameter validation.
