CVE-2009-5008
Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD), when used in conjunction with an AnyConnect SSL VPN server, does not properly perform verification, which allows local users to bypass intended policy restrictions via a modified executable file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
