Summary

A memory leak vulnerability exists in Huawei's CloudEngine series, specifically affecting multiple versions of the 12800, 5800, 6800, and 7800 models. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to send specially crafted Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) packets to the affected devices. The failure to properly release memory allocated for these packets can lead to a gradual depletion of system resources, resulting in degraded performance or denial of service (DoS) conditions. Network administrators should consider monitoring for unusual RSVP traffic and applying security patches provided by Huawei to mitigate the risk.
