Descriptions

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to view system files that should be restricted. This vulnerability is due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in command-line parameters that describe filenames. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using directory traversal techniques to submit a path to a desired file location. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view system files that may contain sensitive information.

Una vulnerabilidad en la CLI de Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software, podría permitir a un atacante local autenticado visualizar los archivos del sistema que deberían estar restringidos. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido al saneamiento inapropiado de la entrada suministrada por el usuario en los parámetros de la línea de comandos que describen los nombres de los archivos. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el uso de técnicas de salto de directorio para enviar una ruta hacia una ubicación de archivo deseada. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante visualizar archivos del sistema que pueden contener información confidencial.
