Description:	Summary: Permissions enforced by iControl can lag behind the actual permissions assigned to a user if the role_map is not reloaded between the time the permissions are changed and the time of the user's next request. This is a race condition that occurs rarely in normal usage. The typical period in which this is possible is limited to at most a few seconds after the permission change. Vulnerability Impact: When an iControl user has administrative privileges that are later downgraded, the user will still be able to use their previous permissions using iControl until the role map reloads. Solution: See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution. CVSS Score: 6.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
