Insight

Insight

There are two memory leak vulnerabilities in XMLparser module of Huawei products. The vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of parameters. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted parameters. A successful exploit could cause a memory leak and eventual denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-04029 and HWPSIRT-2017-08243)There is a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in XMLparser module of Huawei products. The vulnerability is due to lack of validation in XML document. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious XML document. A successful exploit by the attacker could lead to resource exhaust and cause a DoS condition. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-04030)There is a null pointer dereference vulnerability in XMLparser module of Huawei products. When the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted parameters. A successful exploit could cause a denial of service and the process reboot. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-04031)There are four out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in XMLparser module of Huawei products. A local attacker may send crafted parameters in XML document to the affected products. Due to insufficient verification of the parameter, successful exploit will cause a DoS condition and the process reboot. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-04032,HWPSIRT-2017-04074,HWPSIRT-2017-08244 and HWPSIRT-2017-08245)Huawei has released software updates to fix these vulnerabilities.
