The vulnerability is due to improper signature verification during the installation of an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) image. An authenticated, local attacker could exploit this vulnerability and load a malicious, unsigned OVA image on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to perform code execution on a crafted software OVA image. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/ cisco-sa-20190925-vman Affected Products o Vulnerable Products At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected the following Cisco devices if they were running a vulnerable release of Cisco NX-OS Software: Cisco NX-OS Products Nexus 3000 Series Switches Nexus 3500 Platform Switches Nexus 5500 Platform Switches Nexus 5600 Platform Switches Nexus 6000 Series Switches Nexus 7000 Series Switches Nexus 7700 Series Switches Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode Nexus 9500 R-Series Switching Platform Cisco IOS XE Software This vulnerability affects Cisco devices that are running a vulnerable release of Cisco IOS XE Software.

Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software To help customers determine their exposure to vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software, Cisco provides a tool, the Cisco IOS Software Checker , that identifies any Cisco Security Advisories that impact a specific software release and the earliest release that fixes the vulnerabilities described in each advisory ("First Fixed"). If applicable, the tool also returns the earliest release that fixes all the vulnerabilities described in all the advisories identified ("Combined First Fixed"). Customers can use this tool to perform the following tasks: Initiate a search by choosing one or more releases from a drop-down list or uploading a file from a local system for the tool to parse Enter the output of the show version command for the tool to parse Create a custom search by including all previously published Cisco Security Advisories, a specific advisory, or all advisories in the most recent bundled publication To determine whether a release is affected by any published Cisco Security Advisory, use the Cisco IOS Software Checker on Cisco.com or enter a Cisco IOS or IOS XE Software release-for example, 15.1(4)M2 or 3.13.8S -in the following field: [ ] [Check] By default, the Cisco IOS Software Checker includes results only for vulnerabilities that have a Critical or High Security Impact Rating (SIR). To include results for Medium SIR vulnerabilities, use the Cisco IOS Software Checker on Cisco.com and check the Medium check box in the Impact Rating drop-down list. For a mapping of Cisco IOS XE Software releases to Cisco IOS Software releases, refer to the Cisco IOS XE 2 Release Notes , Cisco IOS XE 3S Release Notes , or Cisco IOS XE 3SG Release Notes , depending on the Cisco IOS XE Software release.
