A vulnerability in Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain access to sensitive information on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation and authorization of specific commands that a user can execute within the CLI. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to an affected device and issuing a specific set of commands. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files that they originally did not have permissions to access.
Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) 5.3(.5a) and earlier, when SharePoint acceleration is enabled, does not properly parse SharePoint responses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application-optimization handler reload) via a crafted SharePoint application, aka Bug ID CSCue47674.
