medium Nessus Plugin ID 150788

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

A security vulnerability has been identified in certain HPE and Aruba L2/L3 switch firmware. A data processing error due to improper handling of an unexpected data type in user supplied information to the switch's management interface has been identified. The data processing error could be exploited to cause a crash or reboot in the switch management interface and/or possibly the switch itself leading to local denial of service (DoS). The user must have administrator privileges to exploit this vulnerability.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

See vendor advisory.
