Vulnerability from variot

A vulnerability in the Graphite interface of Cisco HyperFlex software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to write arbitrary data to the Graphite interface. The vulnerability is due to insufficient authorization controls. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the Graphite service and sending arbitrary data. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to write arbitrary data to Graphite, which could result in invalid statistics being presented in the interface. Versions prior to 3.5(2a) are affected. Cisco HyperFlex The software is vulnerable to insufficient validation of data reliability.Information may be tampered with. Cisco HyperFlex is prone to an arbitrary file-overwrite vulnerability. Attackers can overwrite arbitrary files on an unsuspecting user's computer in the context of the vulnerable application. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug IDs CSCvj95590. Cisco HyperFlex Software is a set of scalable distributed file systems from Cisco. The system provides unified computing, storage and network through cloud management, and provides enterprise-level data management and optimization services
