CVE-2015-7847 — Huawei E3272S Firmware security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

Huawei MBB (Mobile Broadband) product E3272s with software versions earlier than E3272s-153TCPU-V200R002B491D09SP00C00 has a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker could send a malicious packet to the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) of a target device and make it fail while setting the port attribute, which causes a DoS attack.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
