CVE-2022-37910
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 · uneditedA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the ArubaOS command line interface. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in a denial of service on the affected system.
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 buffer overflow vulnerability in the ArubaOS command line interface allows authenticated attackers to trigger a denial of service condition by overflowing a buffer through specially crafted CLI input.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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.
-
Determine ArubaOS versionAccess the device CLI and run 'show version' or access web UI and check the device dashboard for OS version informationAffected if The displayed version falls within any of these ranges: 6.5.4.0 to 6.5.4.21, 8.4.0.0 to 8.6.0.16, 8.7.0.0 to 8.7.1.8, 8.8.0.0 to 10.3.0.0, or 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.0 to 8.7.0.0-2.3.0.5 for SD-WAN
-
Identify product typeConfirm whether the device is running ArubaOS or Aruba SD-WAN by checking the model number in 'show version' output or device labelsAffected if Device is an Aruba SD-WAN or ArubaOS device and version falls within the affected ranges listed above
-
Verify CLI access is enabledCheck device configuration for CLI access settings using 'show running-config | include cli' or review access control lists that permit CLI access via console, SSH, or telnetAffected if CLI interface is accessible via any protocol (SSH, telnet, console) and the device version is in the affected list - the vulnerability is exploitable through authenticated CLI sessions
The environment is affected if the installed ArubaOS or SD-WAN version matches any of the specified vulnerable version ranges AND CLI access is enabled, allowing authenticated attackers to overflow the buffer through crafted CLI commands.
