Huawei · Huawei S12700 · CVE-2016-6670
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Huawei S7700, S9300, S9700, and S12700 devices with software before V200R008C00SPC500
**Description**
The issue concerns the generation of self-signed certificates in certain Huawei devices. These devices use random numbers with insufficient entropy, making it easier for remote attackers to discover private keys by leveraging knowledge of a certificate. This could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the certificates, as different devices' certificates may use the same random number.
**Recommendations**
For Huawei S7700, S9300, S9700, and S12700 devices with software before V200R008C00SPC500, update to V200R008C00SPC500 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to self-signed certificates until a patch is available. Avoid using self-signed certificates in sensitive environments until the issue is resolved.
