CVE-2019-5228 — Huawei P30 Firmware security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.8

Certain detection module of P30, P30 Pro, Honor V20 smartphone whith Versions earlier than ELLE-AL00B 9.1.0.193(C00E190R1P21), Versions earlier than VOGUE-AL00A 9.1.0.193(C00E190R1P12), Versions earlier than Princeton-AL10B 9.1.0.233(C00E233R4P3) have a race condition vulnerability. The system does not lock certain function properly, when the function is called by multiple processes could cause out of bound write. An attacker tricks the user into installing a malicious application, successful exploit could cause malicious code execution.

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
