A vulnerability in login authentication management in Cisco Aironet 1800,
2800, and 3800 Series Access Point platforms could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain unrestricted
root access to the underlying Linux operating system. The root Linux shell is provided for advanced troubleshooting
and should not be available to individual users, even those with root privileges. The attacker must have the root
password to exploit this vulnerability.
