What is CVE-2012-4960?

The vulnerability in Huawei networking equipment stems from the use of the outdated DES algorithm for stored passwords. This makes it significantly easier for attackers, particularly those with context-dependent knowledge, to execute brute-force attacks and obtain cleartext passwords. Affected devices include a broad range of products across Huawei's networking solutions, highlighting the importance of updating security practices and transitioning to stronger password management algorithms.
