What is CVE-2026-65200?
CVE-2026-65200 is a low-severity vulnerability in Huawei openBMC, published on 13 Oct 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The openUBMC device-management process parses PLDM-over-MCTP and NCSI-over-MCTP responses from on-bus devices, and three response parsers in the shared transport libraries subtract a fixed header or reserved-field size from a device-supplied response length without a lower-bound check. An undersized response wraps the unsigned length difference to a very large value, and the parser then reads far past the response buffer. The affected code sits in the base (non-vendor) PLDM control class and the Huawei NCSI driver, so it is reachable for any PLDM endpoint or Huawei NIC on the internal management bus, unlike the vendor-specific wangxun parser tracked separately.
Weakness: CWE-191
