Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20200226-ucs-cli-cmdinj
First Published: 2020 February 26 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvq57926
CVE-2020-3173

Summary
o A vulnerability in the local management (local-mgmt) CLI of Cisco UCS
Manager Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute
arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system (OS) on an affected
device.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of command
arguments. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by including
crafted arguments to specific commands on the local management CLI. A
successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands
on the underlying OS with the privileges of the currently logged-in user
for all affected platforms excluding Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric
Interconnects. On Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects, the injected
commands are executed with root privileges.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

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.
