Unauthenticated Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities in Services Accessed by the PAPI Protocol

CVE-2023-35982

Summary

Aruba Networks has identified buffer overflow vulnerabilities within multiple underlying services that may be exploited by attackers. By sending crafted packets to the UDP port (8211) used by the PAPI (Aruba's access point management protocol), unauthenticated users could potentially execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the operating system. It is crucial for organizations using affected products to assess their risk exposure and implement mitigations to safeguard their network infrastructure.
