## Overview

Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the affected interface of AOS-10 or AOS-8 could allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted data to the affected interface. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.

## Affected

- `arubaos_aos >= 10.8.0.0 <= 10.8.1.1`
- `arubaos_aos >= 10.7.0.0 <= 10.7.2.6`
- `arubaos_aos >= 10.4.0.0 <= 10.4.1.13`
- `arubaos_aos >= 8.13.0.0 <= 8.13.3.0`
- `arubaos_aos >= 8.10.0.0 <= 8.10.0.23`
