CVE-2017-17220
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 · uneditedSCCPX module in Huawei DP300 V500R002C00; RP200 V500R002C00; V600R006C00; TE30 V100R001C10; V500R002C00; V600R006C00; TE40 V500R002C00; V600R006C00; TE50 V500R002C00; V600R006C00; TE60 V100R001C10; V500R002C00; V600R006C00 has an invalid memory access vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker crafts malformed packets with specific parameter to the affected products. Due to insufficient validation of packets, successful exploitation may impact availability of product 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 confidenceA memory validation vulnerability exists in the SCCPX module of multiple Huawei video conferencing products (DP300, RP200, TE30/40/50/60). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted malformed packets with specific parameters. Due to insufficient validation of incoming packet data, this leads to invalid memory access, likely causing a denial of service by crashing the affected service.

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 your Huawei video conferencing product modelLocate the product label or access the device web interface/system information to confirm the model number (DP300, RP200, TE30, TE40, TE50, or TE60)Affected if Model is one of DP300, RP200, TE30, TE40, TE50, or TE60 - proceed to version check
-
Check the installed firmware versionAccess the device administration interface or use the command line interface (CLI) with appropriate credentials to retrieve the firmware version. For CLI, typical commands include 'display version' or 'show system-info'. The web interface usually displays this under System > Maintenance > Version or similar path.Affected if Firmware version matches exactly one of: v500r002c00, v600r006c00, v100r001c10 for the identified product model
-
Verify SCCPX module is enabled and exposedCheck the device configuration for SCCPX service status. In the web interface, look under Network > Services or similar. For CLI, check if SCCPX-related services are bind to active network interfaces. Determine if the service listens on accessible network ports (typically port 5060 or similar SIP ports).Affected if SCCPX module is enabled and the service is bound to a network interface accessible from untrusted networks
You are affected if your product model is DP300, RP200, TE30, TE40, TE50, or TE60 AND your firmware version exactly matches v500r002c00, v600r006c00, or v100r001c10 AND the SCCPX service is enabled and network-accessible.

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 firmware updates for the affected product versions. As an interim measure, restrict network access to the SCCPX service to trusted sources only, or disable the module if not required.
