DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Cisco Security Agent, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the
Management Center web interface (webagent.exe) when processing
certain POST parameters. This can be exploited to create an arbitrary
file with supplied contents in a specially crafted "st_upload"
request.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code with
SYSTEM privileges.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 6.0.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.0.2.145.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
