CVE-2020-1816 — Huawei Nip6800 Firmware security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.5

Huawei NIP6800 versions V500R001C30, V500R001C60SPC500, and V500R005C00; Secospace USG6600 and USG9500 versions V500R001C30SPC200, V500R001C30SPC600, V500R001C60SPC500, and V500R005C00 have a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. Due to improper processing of specific IPSEC packets, remote attackers can send constructed IPSEC packets to affected devices to exploit this vulnerability. Successful exploit could cause the IPSec function of the affected device abnormal.

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.
