Device crash via modified Ethernet frame parsing
Published Oct 14, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025
Ethernet-frame parsing in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-8 Instant and AOS 10 allows remote attackers on an adjacent network to crash the device. The vendor identifies modified Ethernet frames as the input that causes the operating-system parser to trigger a kernel panic, but does not disclose the malformed field or exact parsing error. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful exploitation interrupts network services and can require manual intervention to restore operation.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=10.4.0.0 <=10.4.1.8
- Affected versionversion=10.7.0.0 <=10.7.1.1
- Affected versionversion=8.10.0.0 <=8.10.0.18
- Affected versionversion=8.12.0.0 <=8.12.0.5
