CVE-2013-5556
The license-installation module on the Cisco Nexus 1000V switch 4.2(1)SV1(5.2b) and earlier for VMware vSphere, Cisco Nexus 1000V switch 5.2(1)SM1(5.1) for Microsoft Hyper-V, and Cisco Virtual Security Gateway 4.2(1)VSG1(1) for Nexus 1000V switches…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
