Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:29

The process-management implementation in Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) Expressway X8.5.2 allows local users to gain privileges by terminating a firestarter.py supervised process and then triggering the restart of a process by the root account, aka Bug ID CSCuv12272. A local attacker may exploit this issue to gain root privileges on the affected device; this can also result in the attacker gaining complete control of the affected system. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCuv12272
