Huawei smart phone Taurus-AL00B with versions earlier than 10.0.0.203(C00E201R7P2) have a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability. An authenticated, local attacker may perform specific operations to exploit this vulnerability. Successful exploitation may tamper with the information to affect the availability.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
