Summary
=======

A vulnerability in the installation procedure of the Cisco Mobility Services 
Engine (MSE) appliance could allow an authenticated, local attacker to escalate
to the root level.

The vulnerability is due to incorrect installation and permissions settings on 
binary files during the MSE physical or virtual appliance install procedure. 
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging into the device and 
escalating their privileges. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to 
acquire root-level privileges and take full control of the device.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are 
no workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability.
