CVE-2018-7083: If a process running within Aruba Instant crashes, it may leave behind a "core dump", which contains the me...

Security readout for executives and security teams

Aruba Instant devices could expose crash core dumps through the web interface without authentication. Those dumps may contain process memory, including keys or passwords. The main business risk is credential or secret disclosure from wireless infrastructure, especially where the Instant web interface is reachable by untrusted users. Organizations running Aruba Instant or IAP firmware before the cited fixed releases are potentially exposed, particularly if the management web interface is reachable from guest, user, partner, or internet-accessible networks. Prioritize remediation for Aruba Instant systems with exposed management interfaces. Even without confirmed exploitation, unauthenticated access to memory dumps can expose secrets that enable broader network compromise. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Aruba Instant to a vendor-fixed release or later.; Restrict Aruba Instant web interface access to trusted management networks only.; Block untrusted user access to Aruba Instant administration interfaces..
