Vulnerability Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in the CLI parser of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, local malicious user to gain access to the underlying Linux shell of an affected device and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the device. The vulnerabilities are due to the affected software improperly sanitizing command arguments to prevent access to internal data structures on a device. An attacker who has user EXEC mode (privilege level 1) access to an affected device could exploit these vulnerabilities on the device by executing CLI commands that contain crafted arguments. A successful exploit could allow the malicious user to gain access to the underlying Linux shell of the affected device and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the device.
