Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. USG9500 with versions of V500R001C30;V500R001C60 have a denial of service vulnerability. Due to a flaw in the X.509 implementation in the affected products which can result in a heap buffer overflow when decoding a certificate, an attacker may exploit the vulnerability by a malicious certificate to perform a denial of service attack on the affected products. Affected products include: Huawei Usg9500 Firmware.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
