"A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an
authenticated, local attacker with administrator credentials to
execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system of
an attached line card with the privilege level of root. The
vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of arguments passed to
a specific CLI command on the affected device. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by including malicious input as the
argument of an affected command. A successful exploit could allow the
attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux
operating system of an attached line card with elevated privileges. An
attacker would need valid administrator credentials to exploit this
vulnerability.
