Huawei ARXXXX IKE Packet out-of-bounds write

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious IKE packets to the targeted device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to write out of bound and restart.

The bug was discovered 12/13/2017. The weakness was released 02/15/2018 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at huawei.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2017-17160 since 12/04/2017. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 02/08/2023).

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 64 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k.
