HPE Aruba Networking (previously Aruba Networks) has launched safety updates to deal with vital flaws impacting ArubaOS that might end in distant code execution (RCE) on affected programs.
Of the 10 safety defects, 4 are rated vital in severity –
- CVE-2024-26304 (CVSS rating: 9.8) – Unauthenticated Buffer Overflow Vulnerability within the L2/L3 Administration Service Accessed through the PAPI Protocol
- CVE-2024-26305 (CVSS rating: 9.8) – Unauthenticated Buffer Overflow Vulnerability within the Utility Daemon Accessed through the PAPI Protocol
- CVE-2024-33511 (CVSS rating: 9.8) – Unauthenticated Buffer Overflow Vulnerability within the Automated Reporting Service Accessed through the PAPI Protocol
- CVE-2024-33512 (CVSS rating: 9.8) – Unauthenticated Buffer Overflow Vulnerability within the Native Person Authentication Database Accessed through the PAPI Protocol
A risk actor may exploit the aforementioned buffer overflow bugs by sending specifically crafted packets destined to the Course of Software Programming Interface (PAPI) UDP port (8211), thereby gaining the power to execute arbitrary code as a privileged person on the underlying working system.
The vulnerabilities, which affect Mobility Conductor (previously Mobility Grasp), Mobility Controllers, and WLAN Gateways and SD-WAN Gateways managed by Aruba Central, are current within the following software program variations –
- ArubaOS 10.5.1.0 and beneath
- ArubaOS 10.4.1.0 and beneath
- ArubaOS 8.11.2.1 and beneath, and
- ArubaOS 8.10.0.10 and beneath
Additionally they affect the ArubaOS and SD-WAN software program variations which have reached finish of upkeep standing –
- ArubaOS 10.3.x.x
- ArubaOS 8.9.x.x
- ArubaOS 8.8.x.x
- ArubaOS 8.7.x.x
- ArubaOS 8.6.x.x
- ArubaOS 6.5.4.x
- SD-WAN 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.x, and
- SD-WAN 8.6.0.4-2.2.x.x
A safety researcher named Chancen has been credited with discovering and reporting seven of the ten points, together with the 4 vital buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
Customers are suggested to use the newest fixes to mitigate potential threats. As non permanent workarounds for ArubaOS 8.x, the corporate is recommending that customers allow the Enhanced PAPI Safety characteristic utilizing a non-default key.
