CVE-2017-15323: Huawei DP300 V500R002C00, NIP6600 V500R001C00, V500R001C20, V500R001C30, Secospace USG6500 V500R001C00, V500R001C20, V500R001C30, TE60 V100R001C01, V100R001C10, V100R003C00, V500R002C00, V600R006C00, TP3106 V100R001C06, V100R002C00, VP9660 V200R001C02, V200R001C30, V500R002C00, V500R002C10, ViewPoint 8660 V100R008C03, ViewPoint 9030 V100R011C02, V100R011C03, eCNS210_TD V100R004C10, eSpace U1981 V200R003C30 have a DoS vulnerability caused by memory exhaustion in some Huawei products. For lacking of adequate input validation, attackers can craft and send some malformed messages to the target device to exhaust the memory of the device and cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
The exploitability of CVE-2017-15323 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
CVE-2017-15323 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2017-15323, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2017-15323, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
The EPSS score estimates the probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the near future.
EPSS Score: 0.044% (probability of exploit)
EPSS Percentile: 15.45%
(lower percentile = lower relative risk)
This vulnerability is less risky than approximately 84.55% of others.
