What is CVE-2016-8784?

The Huawei CloudEngine 12800 series experiences a memory leak issue due to the mishandling of Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) packets. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specifically crafted packets with abnormal parameter values. This mishandling causes the LDP processing module to retain memory without proper release, ultimately leading to potential resource exhaustion and operational disruptions.
