CVE-2021-40033

Local information disclosure via undisclosed protection failure

Published Jan 31, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Information exposure in Huawei CloudEngine 12800, 5800, 6800, and 7800 firmware allows local users to disclose protected information. Huawei states that the software fails to protect certain information but has not disclosed the affected component, exposed data, or access operation. Affected releases vary by model across V200R005C10SPC800, V200R005C20SPC800, and V200R019C00SPC800; exploitation requires local login, and the documented consequence is disclosure only.
