Cisco Unified Computing System B-Series Blade Servers could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain shell-level access to the affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation in the ping6 and the traceroute6 commands. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted command in the command-line interface. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability in a security notice and released software updates. To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker may need local system access to the targeted system under the local-mgmt context. This access requirement could limit the likelihood of a successful exploit.
The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerability that is described in this advisory.
