Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Buffer overflow vulnerability in the SVG parsing module of the ArkUI framework. The vulnerability occurs during SVG file processing where insufficient bounds checking allows a crafted SVG file to overflow a buffer, potentially causing a denial of service.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patch for CVE-2024-58116 to the ArkUI framework; ensure SVG input validation and bounds checking are enforced in the parsing module.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify HarmonyOS version
    Check the system OS version by navigating to Settings > About Phone > Version on the HarmonyOS device, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.harmonyos' via ADB if available
    Affected if The device is running HarmonyOS version 5.0.0 specifically
  2. Confirm ArkUI framework presence
    Identify if the ArkUI framework is installed on the system by checking for ArkUI-related packages or libraries in the system partition, or review application dependencies that utilize ArkUI for UI rendering
    Affected if The ArkUI framework component is present on the system
  3. Verify SVG parsing capability is in use
    Check whether any applications on the device utilize SVG rendering or parsing functionality. This can be done by reviewing installed applications that handle graphical content, or by examining system logs for SVG-related processing activity
    Affected if SVG parsing or rendering functionality is actively used by any application on the device
  4. Compare ArkUI component version
    If accessible, inspect the ArkUI framework component version to determine if it corresponds to the vulnerable build associated with HarmonyOS 5.0.0. This may require checking system app info or framework metadata
    Affected if The ArkUI framework version matches the build shipped with HarmonyOS 5.0.0 and has not been patched

A device is affected if it runs HarmonyOS 5.0.0 and has the ArkUI framework with SVG parsing capability enabled or in use.
