Title:	Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Custom Binary Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Summary:	A vulnerability in the build procedure for certain executable system files;installed at boot time on Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) devices could allow an;authenticated, local attacker to gain root-level privileges.
Description:	Summary: A vulnerability in the build procedure for certain executable system files installed at boot time on Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) devices could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain root-level privileges. Vulnerability Insight: The vulnerability is due to a custom executable system file that was built to use relative search paths for libraries without properly validating the library to be loaded. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the device and loading a malicious library that can escalate the privilege level. Vulnerability Impact: A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain root-level privileges and take full control of the device. The attacker must have valid user credentials to log in to the device. Solution: See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution. CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
