ArubaOS 10.3.x < 10.4.0.3 / 10.5.x.x < 10.5.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (ARUBA-PSA-2023-017)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 185952

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of ArubaOS installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Multiple Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerabilities exists in a service accessed via the PAPI protocol provided by Aruba InstantOS and ArubaOS 10. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in the ability to interrupt the normal operation of the affected access point. (CVE-2023-45620, CVE-2023-45621, CVE-2023-45622, CVE-2023-45623, CVE-2023-45624, CVE-2023-45627)

- An authenticated command injection vulnerability exist in the Aruba InstantOS and ArubaOS 10 command line interface. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can result in the ability to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user on the underlying operating system. (CVE-2023-45625)

- There are buffer overflow vulnerabilities in multiple underlying services that could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution by sending specially crafted packets destined to the PAPI (Aruba's access point management protocol) UDP port (8211). Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities result in the ability to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system. (CVE-2023-45614, CVE-2023-45615, CVE-2023-45616)

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

Solution

Upgrade to the ArubaOS version mentioned in the vendor advisory.
