Summary
o
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Data Center
Network Manager (DCNM) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
gain access to sensitive files on an affected device.
The vulnerability is due to incorrect permissions settings on affected DCNM
software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the
web-based management interface of an affected device and requesting
specific URLs. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to download
arbitrary files from the underlying filesystem of the affected device.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
The vulnerability affects Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) software
releases prior to Release 11.2(1).
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
are known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Details
o An attacker could use a specific web servlet that is available on affected
DCNM devices to download arbitrary files from the underlying filesystem.
In DCNM Software Release 11.0(1) and earlier, an attacker would need to be
authenticated to the DCNM web-based management interface to exploit this
vulnerability.
In DCNM Software Release 11.1(1), unauthenticated access to the affected
web servlet is available, making it possible for an unauthenticated
attacker to exploit this vulnerability.
The affected web servlet has been completely removed in DCNM Software
Release 11.2(1).
Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support
for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a
license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such
software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco
software license:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html
Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a
valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized
reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to
software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do
not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software
feature sets, or major revision upgrades.
When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts page , to determine exposure and a
complete upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
providers.
Customers Without Service Contracts
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service
contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but
are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale
should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html
Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared
to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free
upgrade.
Fixed Releases
This vulnerability is fixed in Cisco DCNM Software Release 11.2(1) and
later.
The software is available for download from the Software Center on
Cisco.com by doing the following:
1. Click Browse All .
2. Choose Cloud and Systems Management > Data Center Infrastructure
