Descriptions

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to inject arbitrary commands that are executed with root privileges on the underlying Linux operating system (OS) of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of commands that are supplied by the user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to a device and submitting crafted input to an affected command. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands on the underlying Linux OS with root privileges.

Una vulnerabilidad en la CLI del software Cisco IOS XR, podría permitir a un atacante local autenticado inyectar comandos arbitrarios que son ejecutados con privilegios root en el sistema operativo (SO) subyacente de Linux de un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a una comprobación insuficiente de entrada de los comandos suministrados por el usuario. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al autenticarse en un dispositivo y enviar una entrada diseñada a un comando afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante ejecutar comandos en el sistema operativo Linux subyacente con privilegios root
