The camera driver of MTK platform in Huawei smart phones with software of versions earlier than Nice-AL00C00B155 has a buffer overflow vulnerability.Due to the insufficient input verification, an attacker tricks a user into installing a malicious application which has special privilege and sends a specific parameter to the driver of the smart phone, causing privilege escalation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-8180 is a buffer overflow in the MTK camera driver used by Huawei Nice-AL00 smartphones before build Nice-AL00C00B155. A malicious app with special privilege could abuse the driver to gain higher privileges on the phone. Exposure appears limited to Huawei Nice-AL00 devices running software earlier than Nice-AL00C00B155. Enterprise risk is most relevant for managed or BYOD fleets that still include this older handset and allow untrusted application installation. Treat this as a targeted mobile endpoint risk, not a broad infrastructure emergency. Prioritize if the organization still uses affected Huawei Nice-AL00 devices or permits unmanaged app installation on corporate-access phones. Mitigation focus: Inventory Huawei Nice-AL00 devices and record installed software build numbers.; Upgrade affected devices to Nice-AL00C00B155 or later where vendor-supported.; Restrict installation of untrusted applications on managed mobile devices..
