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.
The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently.

A race condition occurs within concurrent environments, and it is effectively a property of a code sequence. Depending on the context, a code sequence may be in the form of a function call, a small number of instructions, a series of program invocations, etc. A race condition violates these properties, which are closely related:
A race condition exists when an “interfering code sequence” can still access the shared resource, violating exclusivity. The interfering code sequence could be “trusted” or “untrusted.” A trusted interfering code sequence occurs within the product; it cannot be modified by the attacker, and it can only be invoked indirectly. An untrusted interfering code sequence can be authored directly by the attacker, and typically it is external to the vulnerable product.
