Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified as Memory Leak (CWE-401), which allows attackers to exhaust available memory leading to denial of service. Huawei NIP6800 versions V500R001C30, V500R001C60SPC500, and V500R005C00; Secospace USG6600 and USG9500 versions V500R001C30SPC200, V500R001C30SPC600, V500R001C60SPC500, and V500R005C00 have a memory leak vulnerability. The software does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory while parse certain message, the attacker sends the message continuously that could consume remaining memory. Successful exploit could cause memory exhaust. Affected products include: Huawei Nip6800 Firmware, Huawei Secospace Usg6600 Firmware, Huawei Usg9500 Firmware.
