Technical details
A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the protocol-handling component of HPE Aruba Networking AOS-8 and AOS-10. The flaw is rooted in improper input validation (CWE-20) when processing incoming network messages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted packets to the affected service. Successful exploitation causes the termination of a critical system process, leading to a complete denial-of-service (DoS) state for the affected device. The vulnerability is reachable over the network without user interaction.
