Descriptions

A vulnerability in the SSH management feature of multiple Cisco Access Points (APs) platforms could allow a local, authenticated user to modify files on the affected device and possibly gain escalated privileges. The vulnerability is due to improper checking on file operations within the SSH management interface. A network administrator user could exploit this vulnerability by accessing an affected device through SSH management to make a configuration change. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain privileges equivalent to the root user.

Una vulnerabilidad en la función de administración SSH de varias plataformas Cisco Access Points (APs), podría permitir a un usuario local autenticado modificar archivos en el dispositivo afectado y posiblemente alcanzar privilegios escalados. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una comprobación inapropiada de las operaciones con archivos en la interfaz de administración SSH. Un usuario administrador de red podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al acceder a un dispositivo afectado mediante la administración SSH para realizar un cambio de configuración. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante alcanzar privilegios equivalentes a los del usuario root
