In some specific conditions, if attackers send specific malformed MPLS Service PING messages to the affected products, products do not release the memory when handling the packets. So successful exploit will result in memory leak of the affected products. Weakness: CWE-772 (Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime) ## Which versions are affected by CVE-2017-17141? It affects 8 products. Products: Huawei S12700 Firmware, Huawei S1700 Firmware, Huawei S2700 Firmware, Huawei S3700 Firmware, Huawei S5700 Firmware, Huawei S6700 Firmware, Huawei S7700 Firmware, Huawei S9700 Firmware. ## How do I fix CVE-2017-17141? No fix has been published for CVE-2017-17141 yet. Limit exposure of the affected software until one is available. ## Is CVE-2017-17141 being exploited? There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-17141 in the wild and no public exploit code. ## Other vulnerabilities in Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

What it is: CVE-2017-17141 is a low-severity denial of service vulnerability in Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. S12700; S1700; S2700; S3700; S5700; S6700; S7700; S9700, published on 5 Mar 2018. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-17141 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. S12700; S1700; S2700; S3700; S5700; S6700; S7700; S9700. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
