An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by placing a crafted file into a specific location on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code at boot time.\r\n\r Because this allows the attacker to bypass a major security feature of the device, Cisco has raised the Security Impact Rating (SIR) of this advisory from Medium to High."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Una vulnerabilidad en el software Cisco IOS para los switches Cisco Catalyst de las series 2960X, 2960XR, 2960CX y 3560CX podr\u00eda permitir que un atacante local autenticado con nivel de privilegio 15, o uno no autenticado con acceso f\u00edsico al dispositivo, ejecute c\u00f3digo persistente durante el arranque y rompa la cadena de confianza. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a la falta de verificaci\u00f3n de firmas para archivos espec\u00edficos que pueden cargarse durante el arranque del dispositivo. Un atacante podr\u00eda explotar esta vulnerabilidad colocando un archivo manipulado en una ubicaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica del dispositivo afectado. Una explotaci\u00f3n exitosa podr\u00eda permitir al atacante ejecutar c\u00f3digo arbitrario durante el arranque.
