PROTOCOL BUG LEAVES ARUBA ACCESS POINTS EXPOSED

By Richard Chirgwin on May 11, 2023 10:18AM


NOT ALL PRODUCTS CAN BE PATCHED.

HPE enterprise wi-fi business unit Aruba Networks has disclosed the latest round
of security patches for its access points.

Eight buffer overflow vulnerabilities were found in “multiple underlying
services” accessible via Aruba’s access point management protocol, PAPI,
accessed through UDP port 8211.

Crafted packets sent to port 8211 could trigger the vulnerabilities, giving a
remote attacker arbitrary code execution on the products’ operating system, as a
privileged user.



The bugs are present in ArubaOS and InstantOS, and the company warned that not
all branches of these operating systems can be patched.

“Due to the structure of these specific vulnerabilities, the only branches to
receive a patch were ArubaOS 10.4.0.0 and above; InstantOS 8.11.x: 8.11.0.0 and
above; and Aruba InstantOS 8.10.0.3 and above," the company wrote.



For customers unable to upgrade to fixed branches, there are some workarounds.

In devices running InstantOS 8.x or 6.x code, admins can enable cluster security
to block the exploit.

However, this is not an option for ArubaOS 10 devices; instead, UDP port 8211
must be blocked from all untrusted networks, the company said.

There’s also a high severity denial-of-service in PAPI, CVE-2023-22787, again in
a service accessed using PAPI. Aruba doesn’t yet have a patch, but blocking UDP
port 8821 again provides mitigation.

There are also three high-severity command injection bugs (CVE-2023-22788,
CVE-2023-22789, CVE-2023-22790) in the Aruba InstantOS and ArubaOS 10 command
line interface which, if exploited, provide remote code execution as a
privileged user of the operating system.



The bugs were reported to Aruba by Erik de Jong and Daniel Jensen via its bug
bounty program, and by Zack Colgan of ClearBearing.
