Title
Arista NG Firewall uvm_login Incorrect Authorization Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Summary
Arista NG Firewall uvm_login Incorrect Authorization Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Arista NG Firewall. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the uvm_login module. The issue results from incorrect authorization. An attacker can leverage this to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the user. Was ZDI-CAN-24324.
