A vulnerability was found in Huawei P8 Lite, Mate 7, Mate S, P8, Honor 6, Honor 7, SHOTX and G8 (Smartphone Operating System). It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown code of the component Keyguard App. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-77. The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
