CVE-2020-1823

There are multiple out of bounds (OOB) read vulnerabilities in the implementation of the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol of some Huawei products. The specific decoding function may occur out-of-bounds read when processes an incoming data packet. Successful exploit of these vulnerabilities may disrupt service on the affected device. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2018-12275,HWPSIRT-2018-12276,HWPSIRT-2018-12277,HWPSIRT-2018-12278,HWPSIRT-2018-12279,HWPSIRT-2018-12280 and HWPSIRT-2018-12289) The seven vulnerabilities have been assigned seven Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) IDs: CVE-2020-1818, CVE-2020-1819, CVE-2020-1820, CVE-2020-1821, CVE-2020-1822, CVE-2020-1823 and CVE-2020-1824.

CVSS metrics for this CVE.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
3.7 3.1 LOW
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:L)
Might cause slowdowns, glitches, or partial disruption—not a full brick.
