CVE-2017-12785 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

The novish command-line interface, included in the NoviWare software distribution through NW400.2.6 and deployed on NoviSwitch devices, is prone to a buffer overflow in the "show log cli" command. This could be used by a read-only user (monitor role) to gain privileged (root) code execution on the switch via command injection.
