CVE-2023-45616
In short
A flaw in Aruba's AirWave client service allows attackers to send specially crafted packets to a specific port and run malicious code on the system without needing to log in. This is critical because it gives complete control over the device.
Technical detail
Buffer overflow vulnerability in AirWave client PAPI UDP service (port 8211) enables unauthenticated remote code execution. Attack vector requires sending malformed packets to trigger memory corruption, resulting in arbitrary code execution with privileged system access.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the underlying AirWave client service 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 this vulnerability results in the ability to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.
