Huawei smartphone Taurus-AL00B with versions earlier than 10.1.0.126(C00E125R5P3) have a user after free vulnerability. A module is lack of lock protection. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by launching specific request. This could compromise normal service of the affected device.

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
