A vulnerability in the fabric interconnect (FI) of the Cisco Unified Computing System could allow an authenticated, local malicious user to create a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to improper filtering of user-supplied parameters. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing certain parameters to the debug hardware command. An exploit could allow the malicious user to cause the FI to crash. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability in a security notice and released software updates. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be able to authenticate and have local access to a targeted device. These access requirements decrease the likelihood of a successful exploit. Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that functional exploit code exists; however, the code is not known to be publicly available.
