installed at boot time on Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) devices could allow an
authenticated, local attacker to gain root-level privileges.");

to use relative search paths for libraries without properly validating the library to be loaded. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the device and loading a malicious library that can escalate the
privilege level.");
