Descriptions

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco FXOS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system with a privilege level of root on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of arguments passed to a specific CLI command on the affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by including malicious input as the argument of an affected command. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system with root privileges. An attacker would need valid administrator credentials to exploit this vulnerability.

Una vulnerabilidad en la CLI de Cisco FXOS Software podría permitir a un atacante local autenticado ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el sistema operativo Linux subyacente con un nivel de privilegio root sobre un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una comprobación insuficiente de los argumentos pasados a un comando de la CLI específico sobre el dispositivo afectado. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al incluir entradas maliciosas como argumento de un comando afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el sistema operativo Linux subyacente con privilegios root. Un atacante necesitaría credenciales de administrador válidas para explotar esta vulnerabilidad.
