Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in Huawei NE40E, CX600, PTN 6900-2-M8, NE5000E and CloudEngine 12800 (Smartphone Operating System). This affects an unknown code block of the component Control Plane. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Huawei NE40E and CX600 devices with software before V800R007SPH017; PTN 6900-2-M8 devices with software before V800R007SPH019; NE5000E devices with software before V800R006SPH018; and CloudEngine devices 12800 with software before V100R003SPH010 and V100R005 before V100R005SPH006 allow remote attackers with control plane access to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet.

The weakness was disclosed 08/02/2016 (Website). The advisory is shared at huawei.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2016-6178 since 07/07/2016.
