CWE Code: 119
Vulnerability Type: privilege_escalation
CVSS Score: 9.0
CWE Name:  Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
Summary: a vulnerability in the import cisco imc configuration utility of cisco integrated management controller (imc) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (dos) condition and implement arbitrary commands with root privileges on an affected device. the vulnerability is due to improper bounds checking by the import-config process. an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious packets to an affected device. when the packets are processed, an exploitable buffer overflow condition may occur. a successful exploit could allow the attacker to implement arbitrary code on the affected device with elevated privileges.
Access Authentication: SINGLE
Access Complexity: LOW
Access Vector: NETWORK
Impact (C/I/A): COMPLETE/COMPLETE/COMPLETE
