A vulnerability in the API implementation of Cisco ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to elevate privileges on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper authorization on specific APIs. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests. A successful exploit could allow an attacker who is authenticated with non-Administrator privileges to elevate to Administrator privileges on an affected device.

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco FXOS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to inject arbitrary commands that are executed with root privileges. The attacker would need to have Administrator privileges on the device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of commands supplied by the user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to a device and submitting crafted input to the affected command. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands on the underlying operating system with root privileges.

A vulnerability in the OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3) feature of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation of specific OSPFv3 packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious OSPFv3 link-state advertisement (LSA) to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the OSPFv3 process to crash and restart multiple times, causing the affected device to reload and resulting in a DoS condition. Note: The OSPFv3 feature is disabled by default. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be able to establish a full OSPFv3 neighbor state with an affected device. For more information about exploitation conditions, see the Details section of this advisory.

By Jon Munshaw.  Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter.  Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was once the most talked about story in the world. Six months into the conflict, modern attention spans have moved on to other news stories. But Ukraine Independence Day yesterday should serve as a reminder to everyone that the threats to Ukraine have not gone anywhere.  The country still faces a physical conflict with Russia every day that seemingly has no easy end, and the barrage of cyber attacks is suspected to continue.   As discussed in our livestream yesterday, Talos continues to see evolving cybersecurity threats in the region, including the most recent GoMet backdoor. And as Joe Marshall highlighted in his blog post last week, Ukraine’s agriculture industry — which is vital to the global food supply chain — remains vulnerable to kinetic and virtual attacks. Because there’s been no one major cyber attack against Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began, the larg...

On Independence Day for Ukraine, Aug. 24, 2022, Cisco Talos provided a live update on its continued support for the region.   Six months since the invasion of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Dmytro Korzhevin, a senior threat intelligence researcher, JJ Cummings, Talos' national intelligence principal, and Ashlee Benge, a strategic intelligence lead, provided insights into their past few months of work in the region. The discussion primarily focused on the resiliency of Ukrainians, who have worked tirelessly over the years to transform their cybersecurity capabilities. Ukrainian infrastructure has largely stayed operational and, in most cases, exceeded expectations. It seems to have baffled most pundits, but for those that have spent years working in Ukraine, it’s no surprise about the levels of dedication and commitment to protecting their critical infrastructure from those that would do it harm.   The team also covered how groundwork laid years ago is paying dividends now during t...
