These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient input validation. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by using the web-based management interface to upload a file to location on an affected device that they should not have access to. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite files on the file system of the affected device. Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
