Number: AV19-129
Date: 28 June 2019
On 26 June 2019, Cisco released security updates to address vulnerabilities affecting some Cisco products. Of note are two critical vulnerabilities in the Cisco Data Center Network Manager. The first vulnerability, due to improper session management, could allow a remote actor to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary actions with administrative privileges on an affected device. The second vulnerability, due to incorrect permission settings, could allow a remote, unauthenticated actor to upload arbitrary files on the filesystem and execute code with root privileges on the affected device.
CCCS encourages users and administrators to review the Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts and apply the necessary updates:
