### Official description

Huawei AR100, AR100-S, AR110-S, AR120, AR120-S, AR1200, AR1200-S, AR150, AR150-S, AR160, AR200, AR200-S, AR2200, AR2200-S, AR3200, AR510, DP300, NetEngine16EX, RP200, SRG1300, SRG2300, SRG3300, TE30, TE40, TE50, TE60, TP3106, TP3206, ViewPoint 8660, and ViewPoint 9030 have an insufficient validation vulnerability. Since packet validation is insufficient, an unauthenticated attacker may send special H323 packets to exploit the vulnerability. Successful exploit could allow the attacker to send malicious packets and result in DOS attacks.

Weakness: CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2017-17151 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2017-17151 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Huawei Ar3200 Firmware, published on 15 Feb 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-2017-17151 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Huawei Ar3200 Firmware. 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.
