CVE-2026-73749 collectively tracks multiple critical improper-input-processing vulnerabilities, reported as buffer-overflow flaws, in an unspecified daemon of HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX. The daemon improperly handles malformed network input. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the affected service and potentially execute code with elevated privileges. The vulnerable daemon, protocol, port, packet format, and vulnerable functions have not been publicly identified.
