Huawei AR1200 V200R006C10SPC300, AR160 V200R006C10SPC300, AR200 V200R006C10SPC300, AR2200 V200R006C10SPC300, AR3200 V200R006C10SPC300 devices have an improper resource management vulnerability. Due to the improper implementation of ACL mechanism, a remote attacker may send TCP messages to the management interface of the affected device to exploit this vulnerability. Successful exploit could exhaust the socket resource of management interface, leading to a DoS condition.
The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.

Mitigation of resource exhaustion attacks requires that the target system either:
The first of these solutions is an issue in itself though, since it may allow attackers to prevent the use of the system by a particular valid user. If the attacker impersonates the valid user, they may be able to prevent the user from accessing the server in question.
The second solution is simply difficult to effectively institute – and even when properly done, it does not provide a full solution. It simply makes the attack require more resources on the part of the attacker.
