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
The SIP module of some Huawei products have a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. A remote attacker could exploit these three vulnerabilities by sending the specially crafted messages to the affected device. Due to the insufficient verification of the packets, successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause buffer overflow and dead loop, leading to DoS condition. Affected products can be found in https://www.huawei.com/en/psirt/security-advisories/huawei-sa-20200115-01-sip-en.

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

This is a denial of service vulnerability in the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) module of certain Huawei products. A remote attacker can send specially crafted SIP messages with insufficient packet validation, triggering a buffer overflow and dead loop that causes the device to become unavailable.

MitigationApply vendor-provided security patches for affected Huawei products. If patches are unavailable, consider implementing SIP traffic filtering at network perimeter devices to block malformed SIP messages.

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. Identify the Huawei AR device model
    Access the device CLI and run 'display device' or 'display version' to confirm the exact model number (AR120S, AR1200, AR1200S, AR150, AR150S, AR160, AR200, or AR200S)
    Affected if Device model is one of the listed affected products
  2. Check the installed firmware version
    Run 'display version' in the device CLI and note the software version string (for example, v200r006c10, v200r007c00, v200r008c20, or v200r008c30)
    Affected if Firmware version matches any of the specific versions listed for that model (exact version match required)
  3. Verify if SIP module is enabled
    Run 'display sip status' or check the current configuration with 'display current-configuration | include sip' to see if SIP protocol handling is active
    Affected if SIP module or SIP protocol feature is enabled on the device
  4. Check for SIP service configuration
    Run 'display ip interface' or 'display service-port' to see if any SIP-based voice or VoIP services are configured
    Affected if SIP-based services or ports (typically UDP/TCP 5060) are configured and active

Device is affected if it is a listed Huawei AR model running one of the exact firmware versions AND the SIP module is enabled and handling SIP traffic.
