No biggie.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring 9.9 on the CVSS severity scale (Cisco doesn&#8217;t say which version), the bug &#8220;could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the Guest Operating System (Guest OS) running on an affected device&#8221; as root.<\/p>\n<p>The vuln comes about through faulty &#8220;role-based access control evaluation&#8221; if your low-priv guest account requests access to a Guest OS that ought to be restricted to admins only. Full details are <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.cisco.com\/security\/center\/content\/CiscoSecurityAdvisory\/cisco-sa-20190925-ios-gos-auth\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here on Cisco&#8217;s website<\/a>, including how to check whether Guest OS is enabled on your routers.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, the rest of the vulns, rated at CVSS 8.6 and below, were all about DoS-triggering conditions \u2013 with the exception of a digital signature bypass vuln in IOS XE. That vuln, however, was only exploitable (<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.cisco.com\/security\/center\/content\/CiscoSecurityAdvisory\/cisco-sa-20190925-iosxe-digsig-bypass\">so Cisco said<\/a>) by an &#8220;authenticated, local attacker&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Back in May, the American switch maker patched a pile of problems that could have allowed attackers to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/05\/02\/cisco_vulnerabilities\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">commandeer routers for any kind of nefarious doings<\/a>. In principle, the guest-as-root vuln patched today is the exact same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Also in May came news of a new big-vuln-with-a-silly-but-eyecatching-name, dubbed Thrangrycat for reasons entirely beyond us.<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/05\/13\/cisco_thrangrycat_vulnerability\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">meat of it<\/a> was that rogue IOS XE admin users could execute commands as root on the underlying Linux shell and then leverage that to tamper with the Trust Anchor FPGA module on the physical router. Trust Anchor, among other things, is supposed to ensure that system code, pre-bootloader, hadn&#8217;t been tampered with.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Crucially, this vuln means a snoop in your network infrastructure can persist even after you think you&#8217;ve flushed them out with software patches and password changes,&#8221; we reported at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Going back a further whole two months to March 2019, Cisco issued a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/03\/27\/cisco_security_patches\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bunch of out-of-band security patches<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the rest of the world <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/09\/25\/huawei_ban_cost_analyst_report\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crows about Huawei equipment being a security risk<\/a>, whether from pisspoor dev practices or from the espionage point of view.
