WPA2 vulnerability and Huawei P8 - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

WPA2 vulnerability and Huawei P8 - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Is there any chance for people with this phone to update and fix the security flaw in WPA2?
As far as i Remember, P8 cant update all the way to Oreo, so even if Google releases a security update, we're stuck to Marshmallow. What are we supposed to do?

Also need help on this please
Is it possible for this security flaw to be fixed? I keep getting hacked on wifi direct. And people on same network can easily connect to me and i cannot stop them with the knowledge I have. The guy upstairs does it as a joke to me sometimes, but it isn't funny. Thx

There is only one way, still try to contact Huawei support by emails, in different languages and so. Same situation with Mate 7, Mate 8, Mate S. I'm very dissapointed with Huawei, this is absolutelly my last smartphone mady by Huawei. Nobody cares about BlueBorne vulnerability and KRACK vulnerability, it a shame!!!

Broadpwn exploit on LG G4 and other security vulnerabilities

I haven't had an update for my LG G4 in so long. Google has released many patches which fix extreme vulnerabilities with the Android OS, including a patch for the latest severe Broadcom exploit (common name: Broadpwn). This is a severe exploit: "The most severe vulnerability in this [runtime] section could enable a remote attacker using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code within the context of an unprivileged process," Google describes in the July 2017 Android Security Bulletin.
Info about exploit: http://thehackernews.com/2017/07/android-ios-broadcom-hacking.html
More info about exploit: http://www.zdnet.com/article/iphones-and-ipad-owners-update-now-to-block-broadpwn-wi-fi-hack/
Android fix: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-07-01
According to this page (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/LG+G4+Teardown/42705), the LG G4 has the Broadcom BCM4339HKUBG 5G WiFi Client which would be affected by this exploit since it affects all BCM43xx chipsets.
Apple released iOS 10.3.3 to fix this.
Does anyone know if the Nougat update will incorporate this Android patch level? Is there any way to contact LG to force them to send an update which fixes this severe exploit?

Um, yeh, I'd like my phone patched thanks. If/when someone develops a hack to use this exploit, I'd prefer not to have my phone and information exposed at public wifi points. LG needs to provide a patch for the G4 ASAP....

Um yea why not open a thread with lg and not a modding community that tries to take advantage of every exploit we can find.
Again lg has already begun patching it. On some device. Tell em to patch yours next. See how fast is happens.

Or get a iphone if ure worried about security.

Haha worrying about public WiFi vulnerabilities. Best way is to turn off. You are only aware of this because of publicity. Whereas the exploits you aren't aware of or never will be aware of can still effect you when WiFi radio is still on in public. There's stuff out there that you'd never see coming and no one will discover only because of the oblivious public

And again another proof of what I say always and everywhere.
My following statement matches for both: Anti Malware software and installing security patches
Security patches have one exception to this though: when a security bug can be executed remotely without any user interaction.
In theory you can have a patch level of 1970 for your device as long as your device can not be remotely attacked without user interaction. The main point of I would say 90% of infections is just the user.
I do not want to offend you or anyone but I have to say it this direct hard way:
The best anti malware protection was / is / and will always be: ....YOU (your brain - think before you click)
Do not install dubious software.
Do not click on unexpected links send to you or from untrusted sources / users.
Do not open attachments which you do not expect to get (even when the sender is your friends address! keep in mind that he can be infected!).
.. or just simply: Use your brain before clicking and/or installing
Anti malware software is only a LAST RESORT and NOT your main protection!
That's what the most humans forget or just do not (WANT TO) know.
This is the same for smartphones or desktop PCs.

Regarding your question if LG will release that fix just take a look here:
https://lgsecurity.lge.com/security_updates.html
You will find that CVE listed in the July patch level for the G4 so yes it gets patched for this device but it depends on your carrier when.

If by "execute arbitrary code within the context of an unprivileged process", you mean executing something that can unlock bootloader in non H815 or H811 models, then you're onto something.

nope, I believe it means root access privileges, or being able read information that for example an wifi stack would not need (like your contacts, location etc.)

This is incredible! I'm still on the January security patch. Hopefully get an patch before Android Oreo gets to me to keep me happy ?

I heard Verizon's Pixel Got a Software update yesterday Sept security patch

I hear Verizon and Google have released a ota of the Sept security patch for Verizon's pixels yesterday.. if you have a Verizon be sure to check for update manually in settings, about phone, software update..

I saw it on my Pixel XL this morning but not on my wife's Pixel. I have no details except the size of ~55MB since that is all that shows. It is not available for download in the OTA images or the factory images section. I assume it will not work over the standard OTA mechanism since the phones are rooted, and I have no interest in taking the patch blindly anyways.

The september 2017 Security Patch should have been released already. But due to some reasons, Google has delayed the upcoming monthly security update. The reason for the delay could be the release of a new stable Android 8.0.0 Oreo firmware update for Google Pixel and Nexus phone. Under the AOSP project, Google released 3 sets of monthly updates. One for the latest Android 8.0 Oreo, another for 7.1 Nougat, and finally the Marshmallow. Today, the Google Pixel XL device is receiving the September 2017 security patch OTA.
The first Google devices to receive the September 2017 Security Patch are the Unlocked Pixel XL 128 GB on AT&T and Verizon. That means, the US carriers shall receive the OTA update before the global roll out. The international variant of Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 6P, and Nexus 5X may receive the next security patch as soon as today. So stay tuned as we will list the update here.
The OTA update for AT&T Pixel XL brings the firmware build number OPR3.170623.007 dated September 5th 2017 level based on Android 8.0.0 Oreo. This an upgrade over the previous OPR6.170623.012 August 5th 2017 8.0.0 Patch.
This September OTA update comes in a very small OTA package. It weight about 50.61 MB in size. The changelog states the following.
This update fixes critical bugs and improves the performance and stability of your Pixel XL. If you download updates over the cellular network or while roaming, additional charges may apply. Update size 50.6 MB
Note: Google Pixel XL users have reported that the OTA notification shows that it is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat, whereas the Pixel devices are already running 8.0.0 Oreo. However, upon update, the Android version is based on 8.0.0 Oreo and September 2017 security patch level. So it could be an error from Google’s side.

What's in the security patch
There are 30 issues resolved in the security patch dated 2017-09-01 and 51 in the 2017-09-05 one. Google notes that the two security patch level strings provide “Android partners with the flexibility to more quickly fix a subset of vulnerabilities that are similar across all Android devices.”
Google devices will receive the latter patch, while devices from other manufacturers will also feature OEM-specific fixes. This month’s bulletin also includes a new section that lists patches that are specific to Google devices.
Vulnerabilities range from moderate to critical, with the most severe possibly enabling remote code execution when browsing, using email, or MMS. However, Google notes that there are no reports of customers being affected by these security issues.

Still not interested? Some people are willing to give up root for a little while in order to improve their security... Only someone who thinks having root 24/7 is better than improving security is something different.. I know with this patch it stops people from remotely controlling you're device... I think if I was rooted I'd unroot and add this security protection...

If someone is rooting, why not apply the update and reroot. We all do that every month. I just did mine for this update. I get the loss of security if you root but you dont need to give up root to update.

I would like to know where you copied & pasted this info since at&t does not sell the pixel, so, I can't see them releasing a ota.
Last I knew, google controls this

I was rooted on Oreo and updated to this new build and my service still sucks? I'm right next to a cell tower and my phone is going from -64 to -80dbm and its making my battery tank. I'm about to go back to 7.1.2.

I think a big misconception is trying to pull people away from improving their own security and safety by using the whole oh you will lose root if you do that and may lock you're bootloader.. just because you personally don't care about you're own safety doesn't mean you should try to prevent someone else from improving their own safety.. come on the fact is it's just root you will be fine to live without it for a little while it's not going to hurt you to give it up for a few...

And another thing is all the new pixels and Pixel XL are gonna come preinstalled with these new security patchs so you all might as well get used to it...

I don't understand why Google doesn't post these on their website immediately. I have a Pixel on Verizon and have no way of accessing it until they finally publish the update to their site or zi just start receiving it. It's always this awkward way with a lot if confusion. It would also be nice if they fixed the few small bugs in Oreo (i.e. picture in picture mode causing reboots when you turn the screen off/back on). It's just a little annoying.

The Sept security patch also fixes a Bluetooth problem. It's recommend to update to any software with Sept security patch and later security patch
Google is still working on getting the September security patches out the door, but it has posted a security bulletin detailing the changes. Several of the flaws noted in the bulletin are part of an enormous Bluetooth vulnerability discovered by Armis Labs, which bills itself as an IoT security firm. The "BlueBorne" attack exposes billions of Android devices to complete takeover by hackers, but it's not only Android. The same flaw exists in Windows, Linux, and some versions of iOS.
BlueBorne is dangerous because most devices have Bluetooth active even when it's not actively being used, and an attacker does not need to pair with the target device to completely take it over. There are eight vulnerabilities listed by Armis, four of which are critical (though Google's classifications differ). The most severe issues are the two remote code executions, which allow an attacker to completely own a device without the user even knowing. These flaws are present in the Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol (BNEP) service, which is used for internet sharing and networking.
You don't even need an internet connection to infect a device, and the Android demo above is wild. If one of the affected devices has Bluetooth on, it's a target. The attacker can gain complete control of the phone to launch any app, install malware, and exfiltrate data. Armis estimates that about 8 billion devices are vulnerable, including 2 billion Android phones, tablets, set top boxes, and watches. There are another 2 billion Windows devices and around 1 billion iOS phones and tablets affected. BlueBorne doesn't work on iOS 10, so the damage is mitigated there.
BlueBorne vulnerabilities in the security bulletin
Most of the vulnerabilities in Android reported by Armis affect all recent builds of the OS, so Google is adding a lot of patches to AOSP. It's up to OEMs to push those out to devices, though. Anything with a patch level of September 1st, 2017 or later will have the necessary fixes. It's going to take time for this patch to roll out, and in the meantime, there are a lot of vulnerable devices.

Face Unlock on Huawei P10 Lite

Hi, I know that the P10 Lite is going to get the Emui 8.0, but I was wondering if it will get the huawei face unlock too. Other huawei phones have already gotten it, so will the P10 Lite get it?

We'll find out when someone gets access to the update (beta or release).
I wouldn't recommend anyone actually use it if it does get added. It's horribly insecure to use any kind of face unlock without the hardware to make it secure. Practically anyone would be able to unlock your device with little preparation. Even with a good software implementation, it's still relatively easy to cheat it.

Hi, it sounds like a cool feature and I wanted to try it. If it comes I think that I will use it, because I really don't care if someone sees my photos and all of that stuff and I don't have friends that will steal my phone, if someone steal my phone he will probably don't even try to hack it. There are really not that much people like this in my city plus that I am not something like a secret agent, so... ?

Certainly. I just wanted to warn you (or anyone reading it) that it's not actually secure. It can add a tiny deterrent too so it's not as bad as slide to unlock for example.
Some of the problems with it is that without additional sensors it relies on a 2D image to recognize you. Sometimes it can unlock via photos of you or people who look similar. That's why Apple's facial recognition works: multiple sensors that are very difficult to cheat and requires targeted prep work to even succeed hence a random pickpocket won't be able to do anything.
You can add software tricks such as checking for eye blinking to determine if it's a live person and use software algorithms to increase accuracy but these can be cheated which is why I don't think even Google's AI team could develop a safe method that only needs a camera.
Just wanted to explain why the software solution is generally a bad idea if security is important to you.
I think you may get your wish though. I don't see why Huawei wouldn't do it. After Apple did it, it seems like it has become a sought after feature again but these companies don't tell you that it's not the same as what Apple did which is unfortunate for most people if they get a false sense of security.
Finger print is still quite secure though and fast too

Probably not, Lite gets a lot of features cut. A lot of them can be unlocked with build.prop editing, but we'll have to wait to know for sure.

No bro. I have the Huawei p10 lite with the Oreo 8.0.sumn
And It doesn't come with face unlock. Everything else is ok but the camera. They deliberately ****ed up the once almost perfect camera that the phone came with too. I'll advice you root the hell out of that **** bro??
But one positive is that they keep rolling out Google security patches every single month

This is the reason for me to throw this garbage away. Without 8.1 I'm not able to listen to BT music in my company's cars and on one of my speakers because of AVRCP 1.6. Google messed it up but fixed it with 8.1 - Huawei won't update the P10 to 8.1 and if they will do an update to 9.0 is also doubtful.
But as they said to the missing unlock code providing:
"We want to provide a better user experience"...well f*ck it Huawei.

To give more money to Huawei so say can produce more **** like this?
The hardware is great but Huawei does a crappy job with their software - no third party integration, no frequent updates, no unlocking, no theming.....
I switched from Apple to get more freedom but what I got an Android system with good features on the one hand but on the other hand completely locked OEM software.

I have update every month and i have themes. Freedom on Huawei devices you cannot find if you dont have unlocking bootloader. On my P10 i have freedom on new P20 freedom goodbay ?
Software is stable and fast, good batery life and simillar but like you say is kinda a locked like Apple IOS. For me now MIUI (Xiaomi) have better software than EMUI (Huawei)

Xiaomi will be my next phone if OnePlus won't make a smaller device. Themes on EMUI aren't as complete as substratum themes. The only thing I like is that you can set global app themes which are showing in sharing menus, settings and co.
But you can't install a third party DSP on EMUI and Xposed is also a very huge risk.

I have locked bootloader on my P10 and i have themes and monthly updates.
My wife has a P20 pro and has locked bootloade ralso. She has monthly updates and many themes.
Where did you get the info you dont have freedom on your P20?
What do you profit with unlocked bootloader (except custom roms, which are working sometimes and sometimes not)? I had unlocked bootloader , i had root but unrooting and rooting the device every month when a OTA comes or spend time to sideload the OTA and praying that my device don ´t get bricked are over. I am happy with the camera, performance, battery life..so on my side no need to root anymore.
When i want to play i pick up my google pixel XL (and next month pixel 3 ).

Version 379 is now releaded....gpu turbo version

Which game can i play on it? For example?

Hi @freeacer how can I install it from firmware finder?

You must waiting for approve, Huawei servers are under encryption and we must waiting for OTA via system update

Is there any custom rom that contains the gpu turbo path?
