"According to its self-reported version number, the Cisco Application
Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) software running on the remote 
host is prior to 1.3(2f). It is, therefore, affected by a local
privilege escalation vulnerability due to insecure permissions set for
binary files during the installation process. A local attacker can
exploit this to gain root-level privileges.");
