The management console in Aruba Networks ClearPass Policy Manager 6.3.0.60730 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in certain arguments of a valid command, as demonstrated by the (1) system status-rasession and (2) network ping commands. Per: http://osvdb.org/show/osvdb/109662
"Aruba Networks ClearPass Policy Manager contains a flaw in the Management console. The issue is triggered when parsing commands. With a specially crafted command, an authenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary commands with root privileges."
