Descriptions

A vulnerability in the Image Verification feature of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to install a malicious software image or file on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to the affected software improperly verifying digital signatures for software images and files that are uploaded to a device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a malicious software image or file to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass digital signature verification checks for software images and files and install a malicious software image or file on the affected device.

Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad de verificación de imágenes de Cisco IOS XE Software podría permitir que un atacante local autenticado instale una imagen o archivo de software malicioso en un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad se debe a que el software afectado verifica incorrectamente las firmas digitales para imágenes y archivos de software que se suben a un dispositivo. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad subiendo una imagen o archivo de software malicioso a un dispositivo afectado. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir que el atacante omita las comprobaciones de validación de firmas digitales para imágenes y archivos de software e instale una imagen o archivo de software malicioso en el dispositivo afectado.
