CVE-2017-15350
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.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted message to the affected products. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of the message, which could result in a buffer overflow. Successful exploit may cause some services abnormal.
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 · high confidenceA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the COPS (Common Open Policy Service Protocol) module of multiple Huawei products due to insufficient input validation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted COPS messages to trigger the buffer overflow, potentially causing service abnormalities.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the product modelDetermine the exact Huawei product model (Dp300, Ips Module, Ngfw Module, Nip6300, Nip6600, Nip6800, Svn5800C, or Rp200) by reviewing the device documentation or checking the system information interface.Affected if The product is one of the models listed in the affected products list.
-
Check the installed firmware versionAccess the device management interface or use the command line to retrieve the firmware version (for example, display version or system firmware version command).Affected if The firmware version matches exactly one of the versions listed in the affected products and versions for that specific model.
-
Verify if COPS protocol is enabledCheck the device configuration for COPS protocol settings. This is typically found in the protocol or service configuration section of the device management interface, or by running commands such as display cops configuration or display service configuration.Affected if COPS protocol is enabled and operational on the device.
-
Confirm COPS service is network accessibleReview firewall rules, access control lists, and network segmentation to determine if the COPS service port (typically TCP port 3288) is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet.Affected if COPS service is reachable from untrusted network segments or the internet.
If the product model and firmware version match the affected list AND the COPS protocol is enabled and accessible, the environment is likely affected by this vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor-supplied patches or firmware updates for the affected products. If patches are unavailable, consider disabling the COPS protocol or blocking COPS traffic at network boundaries.
