CVE-2017-17222
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 · uneditedImport Language Package function in Huawei eSpace 7950 V200R003C30; eSpace 8950 V200R003C00; V200R003C30 has a remote code execution vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can craft and send the packets to the affected products after Language Package is uploaded. Due to insufficient verification of the packets, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
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 confidenceAuthenticated remote attackers can exploit insufficient input validation in the Language Package import function of Huawei eSpace 7950/8950 V200R003 to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious packets after uploading a language package.

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 device model and firmware versionAccess the device administrative interface or check the system information page to determine if the device is a Huawei eSpace 7950 or 8950 and note the exact firmware versionAffected if The device is a Huawei eSpace 7950 running firmware v200r003c30 or a Huawei eSpace 8950 running firmware v200r003c00 or v200r003c30
-
Confirm Language Package import feature availabilityNavigate to the administrative settings and locate the Language Package import function under the system maintenance or configuration sectionAffected if The Language Package import feature is present and accessible in the administrative interface
-
Verify administrative access statusCheck whether the administrative web interface is accessible from the network segment from which you would be testing, and confirm you have valid administrator credentialsAffected if The administrative interface is reachable from an untrusted network or the attacker has obtained valid administrative credentials
You are affected if your Huawei eSpace 7950 runs v200r003c30 or your Huawei eSpace 8950 runs v200r003c00/v200r003c30, the Language Package import feature is enabled, and an attacker can reach the administrative interface with valid credentials.

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 for eSpace 8950 V200R003C00 and eSpace 7950 V200R003C30; if patches unavailable, restrict administrative interface access to trusted networks and disable the Language Package import feature until remediation is possible.
