CVE-2014-8358

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Huawei USB modems EC156, EC176, and EC177 with software before UTPS-V200R003B015D02SP07C1014 and before V200R003B015D02SP08C1014 have a weak ACL for the 'Mobile Partner' directory. This allows remote attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges by compromising a low privilege account and modifying Mobile Partner.exe.

Risk Assessment

The organization may be exposed to attacks that lead to full system privileges being obtained by malware, potentially resulting in data loss or device takeover.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the modem software to the latest version to eliminate the weak access control and to monitor user accounts for unauthorized changes.
