The hardware security module of Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro Huawei smart phones with the versions earlier before MHA-AL00BC00B156, versions earlier before MHA-CL00BC00B156, versions earlier before MHA-DL00BC00B156, versions earlier before MHA-TL00BC00B156, versions earlier before LON-AL00BC00B156, versions earlier before LON-CL00BC00B156, versions earlier before LON-DL00BC00B156, versions earlier before LON-TL00BC00B156 has a arbitrary memory read/write vulnerability due to the input parameters validation. An attacker with the root privilege of the Android system could exploit this vulnerability to read and write memory data anywhere or execute arbitrary code in the TrustZone.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.7, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 4 products from huawei, from huawei, from huawei and 1 other, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2018, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For huawei's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
