Symptom: The Cisco NX-OS software contains a directory traversal vulnerability within the command line interface that could allow a local, authenticated attacker to disclose the contents of arbitrary files on the affected device. An attacker could leverage the NX-OS ''copy'' command to duplicate the contents of arbitrary files on the device to a user writable area of the filesystem. As the new file will be owned by the authenticated user, the attacker will be able to view the contents.
