CVE-2017-6690
A vulnerability in the file check operation of Cisco ASR 5000 Series Aggregated Services Routers running the Cisco StarOS operating system could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to overwrite or modify arbitrary files on an affected system.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
