DescriptionNVD

There is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in some products. An unauthenticated attacker crafts malformed packets with specific parameter and sends the packets to the affected products. Due to insufficient validation of packets, which may be exploited to cause the process reboot. Affected product versions include: IPS Module versions V500R005C00, V500R005C10; NGFW Module versions V500R005C00, V500R005C10; Secospace USG6300 versions V500R001C30, V500R001C60, V500R005C00, V500R005C10; Secospace USG6500 versions V500R001C30, V500R001C60, V500R005C00, V500R005C10; Secospace USG6600 versions V500R001C30, V500R001C60, V500R005C00, V500R005C10; USG9500 versions V500R001C30, V500R001C60, V500R005C00, V500R005C10
