HIGH Summary
There is a denial of service vulnerability in some Huawei products. Due to improper memory management, memory leakage may occur in some special cases. Attackers can perform a series of operations to exploit this vulnerability. Successful exploit may cause a denial of service. Affected product versions include: CloudEngine 12800 versions V200R019C00SPC800; CloudEngine 5800 versions V200R019C00SPC800; CloudEngine 6800 versions V200R005C20SPC800, V200R019C00SPC800; CloudEngine 7800 versions V200R019C00SPC800; NE40E versions V800R011C00SPC200, V800R011C00SPC300, V800R011C10SPC100; NE40E-F versions V800R011C00SPC200, V800R011C10SPC100; NE40E-M versions V800R011C00SPC200, V800R011C10SPC100.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- HTTP DoS An attacker performs flooding at the HTTP level to bring down only a particular web application rather than anything listening on a TCP/IP connection. This denial of service attack requires substantially fewer packets to be sent which makes DoS harder to detect. This is an equivalent of SYN flood in HTTP. The idea is to keep the HTTP session alive indefinitely and then repeat that hundreds of times. This attack targets resource depletion weaknesses in web server software. The web server will wait to attacker's responses on the initiated HTTP sessions while the connection threads are being exhausted.
