Description:	Summary: A privilege escalation vulnerability in the Python scripting subsystem of Cisco Nexus 7000 devices that have been configured with multiple virtual device contexts (VDCs) could allow an authenticated, local attacker to delete files owned by a different VDC on the device. Vulnerability Insight: The vulnerability exists due to incomplete privilege separation of the Python scripting engine across multiple VDCs. An attacker with administrative privileges in a specific VDC could exploit this vulnerability to remove files owned by a separate VDC. Vulnerability Impact: This could result in a denial of service (DoS) condition on the affected device. Solution: See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution. CVSS Score: 3.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
