There is a use-after-free vulnerability in a Huawei product. A module cannot deal with specific operations in special scenarios. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by performing malicious operations. This can cause memory use-after-free, compromising normal service. Affected product include some versions of NIP6300, NIP6600, NIP6800, S1700, S2700, S5700, S6700 , S7700, S9700, Secospace USG6300, Secospace USG6500, Secospace USG6600 and USG9500.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
