CVE-2020-1858 — Huawei Nip6800 Firmware security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.5

Huawei products NIP6800 versions V500R001C30, V500R001C60SPC500, and V500R005C00SPC100; Secospace USG6600 versions V500R001C30SPC600, V500R001C60SPC500, and V500R005C00SPC100; and USG9500 versions V500R001C30SPC600, V500R001C60SPC500, and V500R005C00SPC100 have a denial of service vulnerability. Attackers need to perform a series of operations in a special scenario to exploit this vulnerability. Successful exploit may cause the new connections can't be established, result in a denial of service.

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.
