Cyber Risks · Cisco Talos

Threat Source (April 4)

Summary: Cisco Talos reported that Microsoft found a serious vulnerability in Huawei's PCManager that could let attackers alter the Windows 10 kernel on MateBook machines; Huawei patched it in January but only disclosed it last week. Cisco also released patches for 24 vulnerabilities in its IOS operating system, 15 of them in IOS XE, and warned that two routers in its RV line are open to attack with no fix available yet.

Bottom line: Two RV-series routers remain exposed with no patch available, and the Huawei flaw requires only that a user be tricked into running a malicious application - a reminder that kernel-level exposure often arrives through ordinary user action.
