Descriptions
A vulnerability in the multi-instance feature of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to escape the container for their Cisco FTD instance and execute commands with root privileges in the host namespace. The attacker must have valid credentials on the device.The vulnerability exists because a configuration file that is used at container startup has insufficient protections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by modifying a specific container configuration file on the underlying file system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands with root privileges within the host namespace. This could allow the attacker to impact other running Cisco FTD instances or the host Cisco FXOS device.
Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad multi-instance de Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software, podría permitir a un atacante local autenticado escapar del contenedor para su instancia Cisco FTD y ejecutar comandos con privilegios root en el espacio de nombres del host. El atacante debe tener credenciales válidas en el dispositivo. La vulnerabilidad se presenta porque un archivo de configuración que es usado en el inicio del contenedor no posee protecciones suficientes. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante la modificación de un archivo de configuración de contenedor específico en el sistema de archivos subyacente. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir a un atacante ejecutar comandos con privilegios root dentro del espacio de nombres del host. Esto podría permitir que el atacante afecte a otras instancias de Cisco FTD en ejecución o al dispositivo host Cisco FXOS
