New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 9.6
Synopsis
The remote device is running a version of NX-OS that is affected by Shellshock.
Description
According to its self-reported version, the remote NX-OS device is affected by a command injection vulnerability in GNU Bash known as Shellshock, which is due to the processing of trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via environment variable manipulation depending on the configuration of the system.
Solution
Upgrade to the suggested fixed version referred to in the relevant Cisco bug ID. Note that some fixed versions have not been released yet. Please contact the vendor for details.
