Descriptions

Previous versions of Apache Flex BlazeDS (4.7.2 and earlier) did not restrict which types were allowed for AMF(X) object deserialization by default. During the deserialization process code is executed that for several known types has undesired side-effects. Other, unknown types may also exhibit such behaviors. One vector in the Java standard library exists that allows an attacker to trigger possibly further exploitable Java deserialization of untrusted data. Other known vectors in third party libraries can be used to trigger remote code execution.

Versiones previas de Apache Flex BlazeDS (4.7.2 y anteriores) no restringían qué tipos se permitían para la deserialización de objetos AMF(X) por defecto. Durante el proceso de deserialización, se ejecutaba código que tenía efectos colaterales no deseados para numerosos tipos conocidos. Otros tipos no conocidos también podían mostrar comportamientos similares. Existe un vector en la biblioteca estándar de Java que puede permitir que un atacante realice otras deserializaciones explotables de datos no fiables en Java. Se pueden emplear otros vectores conocidos en bibliotecas de terceros para realizar una ejecución remota de código.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the configuration of a user permission. A crafted tcpdump command can trigger execution of a privileged operation. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of root.
