Summary
A security vulnerability has been identified in in certain HPE and Aruba L2/L3 switch firmware. A data processing error due to improper handling of an unexpected data type in user supplied information to the switch's management interface has been identified. The data processing error could be exploited to cause a crash or reboot in the switch management interface and/or possibly the switch itself leading to local denial of service (DoS). The user must have administrator privileges to exploit this vulnerability.
