## Overview

There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the underlying Utility daemon that could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution by sending specially crafted packets destined to the PAPI (Aruba's access point management protocol) UDP port (8211). Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in the ability to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system. 



## Affected

- `sd-wan = 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.0`
- `sd-wan = 8.6.0.4-2.2.0.7`
- `sd-wan = 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.0`
- `sd-wan = 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.9`
- `arubaos >= 6.5.4.0, < 8.10.0.12`
- `arubaos >= 8.11.0.0, < 8.11.2.2`
- `arubaos >= 10.4.0.0, < 10.4.1.1`
- `arubaos >= 10.5.0.0, < 10.5.1.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `arubaos 10.5.1.1`
