Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified as Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400), which allows attackers to cause denial of service by exhausting system resources. Huawei AR1200 V200R006C10SPC300, AR160 V200R006C10SPC300, AR200 V200R006C10SPC300, AR2200 V200R006C10SPC300, AR3200 V200R006C10SPC300 devices have an improper resource management vulnerability. Due to the improper implementation of ACL mechanism, a remote attacker may send TCP messages to the management interface of the affected device to exploit this vulnerability. Successful exploit could exhaust the socket resource of management interface, leading to a DoS condition. Affected products include: Huawei Ar1200 Firmware, Huawei Ar160 Firmware, Huawei Ar200 Firmware, Huawei Ar2200 Firmware, Huawei Ar3200 Firmware.
