CVE-2017-17172

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.3)—

Huawei smart phones LYO-L21 with software LYO-L21C479B107, LYO-L21C479B107 have a privilege escalation vulnerability. An authenticated, local attacker can crafts malformed packets after tricking a user to install a malicious application and exploit this vulnerability when in the exception handling process. Successful exploitation may cause the attacker to obtain a higher privilege of the smart phones.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
