CVE-2020-9213 — There is a denial of service vulnerability in some huawei products

High CVSS 7.5

There is a denial of service vulnerability in some huawei products. In specific scenarios, due to the improper handling of the packets, an attacker may craft many specific packets. Successful exploit may cause some services to be abnormal. Affected products include some versions of NGFW Module, NIP6300, NIP6600, NIP6800, Secospace USG6300, Secospace USG6500, Secospace USG6600 and SG9500.

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.
