Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6732)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges.
The weakness exists due to the use of incorrect installation and permission settings for binary files when Cisco Prime Network is installed on a device. A local attacker can gain root privileges on the target system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in full control over the system.
2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6726)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The weakness exists in the CLI of the Cisco Prime Network Gateway due to a lack of input and validation checking mechanisms. A local attacker can issue specific, known commands after authenticating locally to the system via the CLI and retrieve system process information.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information disclosure.
