The process-management implementation in Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) Expressway X8.5.2 allows local users to gain privileges by terminating a firestarter.py supervised process and then triggering the restart of a process by the root account, aka Bug ID CSCuv12272.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control.
