Absolute path traversal vulnerability in the image-download process in the fabric-interconnect component in Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) allows local users to overwrite or delete arbitrary files via a full pathname in an image header, aka Bug ID CSCtq02706.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
