Adjacent code execution via undisclosed memory corruption
Published Oct 6, 2026 · Updated Oct 6, 2026
Memory corruption in HPE Aruba Networking Switch Operating System (AOS-S) 16.11.0031 and earlier allows attackers to execute code. HPE has not publicly identified the affected component, exposed protocol, or memory operation that corrupts data. The supplied advisory places unauthenticated attackers adjacent to a vulnerable switch; the absence of protocol and configuration details limits exposure assessment.
