Severity ?
5.1 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H
Summary
A vulnerability in the Cisco Jabber Client Framework (JCF) software, installed as part of the Cisco Jabber for Mac client, could allow an authenticated, local attacker to corrupt arbitrary files on an affected device that has elevated privileges. The vulnerability exists due to insecure directory permissions set on a JCF created directory. An authenticated attacker with the ability to access an affected directory could create a hard link to an arbitrary location on the affected system. An attacker could convince another user that has administrative privileges to perform an install or update the Cisco Jabber for Mac client to perform such actions, allowing files to be created in an arbitrary location on the disk or an arbitrary file to be corrupted when it is appended to or overwritten.

La vulnerabilidad existe debido a los permisos de directorio inseguros establecidos en un directorio creado en JCF. Un atacante autenticado que pueda acceder a un directorio afectado podr\u00eda crear un enlace permanente a una ubicaci\u00f3n arbitraria en el sistema afectado. Un atacante podr\u00eda convencer a otro usuario con privilegios administrativos para que instale o actualice el cliente Cisco Jabber para Mac para que realice dichas acciones, lo que permite que los archivos se creen en una ubicaci\u00f3n arbitraria del disco o que un archivo arbitrario se corrompa cuando se anexa o sobrescribe.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N\",\"baseScore\":4.2,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"HIGH\",\"userInteraction\":\"REQUIRED\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":0.6,\"impactScore\":3.6}],\"cvssMetricV30\":[{\"source\":\"ykramarz@cisco.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.0\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H\",\"baseScore\":5.1,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"HIGH\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":0.8,\"impactScore\":4.2}],\"cvssMetricV2\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"2.0\",\"vectorString\":\"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P\",\"baseScore\":3.3,\"accessVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"accessComplexity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"authentication\":\"NONE\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"PARTIAL\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"PARTIAL\"},\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"exploitabilityScore\":3.4,\"impactScore\":4.9,\"acInsufInfo\":false,\"obtainAllPrivilege\":false,\"obtainUserPrivilege\":false,\"obtainOtherPrivilege\":false,\"userInteractionRequired\":true}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"ykramarz@cisco.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-275\"}]},{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-732\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:cisco:jabber:12.1\\\\(0\\\\):*:*:*:*:mac_os_x:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"4895FD9E-2441-4004-A11C-89295D4BC110\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/106520\",\"source\":\"ykramarz@cisco.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\",\"VDB Entry\"]},{\"url\":\"https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190109-jabr-mac-permissions\",\"source\":\"ykramarz@cisco.com\",\"tags\":[\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/106520\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\",\"VDB Entry\"]},{\"url\":\"https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190109-jabr-mac-permissions\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Vendor Advisory\"]}]}}",
