Summary

HPE ArubaOS (AOS) 10.8.0.0 through 10.8.1.1, 10.7.0.0 through 10.7.2.6, 10.4.0.0 through 10.4.1.13, 8.13.0.0 through 8.13.3.0 and 8.10.0.0 through 8.10.0.23 are affected. A copy without a size check overflows a buffer (CWE-120), so an unauthenticated adjacent attacker can execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted data to the affected interface. Successful exploitation runs code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.
