CVE-2017-8204 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Bastet driver of Honor 9 Huawei smart phones with software of versions earlier than Stanford-AL10C00B175 has a buffer overflow vulnerability due to the lack of parameter validation. An attacker tricks a user into installing a malicious APP which has the root privilege; the APP can send a specific parameter to the driver of the smart phone, causing arbitrary code execution. EPSS estimates a 1.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
