Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Huawei LogCenter V100R001C10 could allow an authenticated attacker to add abnormal device information to the log collection module, causing denial of service.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

In Huawei LogCenter V100R001C10, an authenticated attacker can inject malformed or abnormal device information into the log collection module. This causes the log collection service to fail or become unresponsive, resulting in denial of service. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of device information data before processing it in the log collection component.

MitigationApply the vendor patch for CVE-2015-8670. If no patch is available, restrict access to the log collection administration interface to trusted users only and implement input validation on device information fields to prevent processing of malformed data.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm LogCenter version
    Check the installed Huawei LogCenter version via the management interface or by inspecting system files/registry entries that store version information for the LogCenter application.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly v100r001c10 (no patches applied).
  2. Verify log collection service is enabled
    Access the LogCenter administration interface and navigate to the log collection module settings to confirm whether the log collection service is currently active and processing device information.
    Affected if The log collection module is enabled and accepting device information input.
  3. Check administration interface accessibility
    Determine if the LogCenter administration interface is reachable from the network. Attempt to access the login page or confirm the interface is exposed on the expected management port.
    Affected if The administration interface is network-accessible without proper network segmentation.
  4. Review user access to log collection module
    Examine the user accounts and roles configured in LogCenter to identify which authenticated users have permission to submit or modify device information within the log collection module.
    Affected if Untrusted or unauthorized user accounts exist with the ability to inject device information into the log collection module.

A user is affected if LogCenter v100r001c10 is running with the log collection module enabled and the administration interface is accessible to untrusted authenticated users who can submit device information.
