Summary

CVE-2024-58107 is a high-severity Integer Overflow to Buffer Overflow (CWE-680) vulnerability in Huawei Harmonyos. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 27th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and analysis (static, dynamic, fuzzing) finds integer-overflow-to-allocation defects before deployment.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly enforces size checks before buffer copies.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Mandates documented development standards and tools that enforce secure coding rules against unsafe integer arithmetic.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Requires engineering principles such as safe arithmetic and bounds-checked allocation that directly stop integer overflow during memory-size computation.

SI-16 Memory Protection partial match

Memory protection limits the impact of an overflow once it occurs.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent integer-overflow flaws during development, but eliminating only this CWE covers only part of the broad control intent.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes such as code review or scanning detect classic buffer overflows before exploitation.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching replaces vulnerable code containing unchecked buffer copies with corrected versions.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

Secure coding directly requires bounds-checked memory operations, addressing the root cause of CWE-120.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect integer-overflow-to-buffer-overflow conditions during development.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates practices that can catch integer overflows before deployment.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify safe integer handling and bounds checking.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage use of safe arithmetic libraries and overflow detection.
