Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2016-2231 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Windows-based Host Interface Program (WHIP) service on Huawei SmartAX MT882 devices V200R002B022 Arg relies on the client to send a length field that is consistent with a buffer size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device outage) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted traffic on TCP port 8701.. EPSS estimates a 1.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
