In preloader, there is a possible escalation of privilege due to an insecure default value. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS08528185; Issue ID: ALPS08528185.

The RBAC functionality in grsecurity before 2.1.11-2.6.24.5 and 2.1.11-2.4.36.2 does not enforce user_transition_deny and user_transition_allow rules for the (1) sys_setfsuid and (2) sys_setfsgid calls, which allows local users to bypass restrictions for those calls.

A vulnerability in the Cisco FXOS CLI feature on specific hardware platforms for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to elevate their administrative privileges to root. The attacker would need valid administrative credentials on the device to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability exists because certain system configurations and executable files have insecure storage and permissions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating on the device and then performing a series of steps that includes downloading malicious system files and accessing the Cisco FXOS CLI to configure the attack. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain root access on the device.
