What is CVE-2017-8186?

The Bastet feature in certain Huawei mobile phones, specifically those running on versions prior to MHA-AL00BC00B231, is susceptible to a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability.

A compromised app could modify crucial parameters, leading to unexpected system reboots and disruption of service for the device.
