CVE-2024-31470

There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the underlying SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) service that could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution by sending specially crafted packets destined to the PAPI (Aruba's Access Point management protocol) UDP port (8211). Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in the ability to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user on the underlying operating system.

Summary		(es) Existe una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer en el servicio SAE (autenticación simultánea de iguales) subyacente que podría conducir a la ejecución remota de código no autenticado mediante el envío de paquetes especialmente manipulados destinados al puerto UDP (8211) PAPI (protocolo de administración de puntos de acceso de Aruba). La explotación exitosa de esta vulnerabilidad da como resultado la capacidad de ejecutar código arbitrario como usuario privilegiado en el sistema operativo subyacente.
