Description:Summary:
A vulnerability in the command-line interface (CLI) of Cisco
NX-OS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to access the contents of arbitrary
files on the affected device.

Vulnerability Insight:
Cisco NX-OS software contains a directory traversal
vulnerability within the command line interface that could allow a local, authenticated attacker
to disclose the contents of arbitrary files on the affected device.

Vulnerability Impact:

the contents of arbitrary files on the device to a user writable area of the filesystem. As the
new file will be owned by the authenticated user, the attacker will be able to view the
contents.
