There is a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability in Huawei products. An attacker may craft specific packets to exploit this vulnerability. Successful exploitation may cause the service abnormal. Affected product versions include:CloudEngine 12800 V200R005C10SPC800,V200R019C00SPC800;CloudEngine 5800 V200R005C10SPC800,V200R019C00SPC800;CloudEngine 6800 V200R005C10SPC800,V200R005C20SPC800,V200R019C00SPC800;CloudEngine 7800 V200R005C10SPC800,V200R019C00SPC800.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
