What is CVE-2015-4325?

A vulnerability exists in the process-management mechanism of Cisco's TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) Expressway X8.5.2 that allows local users to escalate their privileges. By terminating a supervised process known as 'firestarter.py' and subsequently triggering its restart using root privileges, an attacker can gain unauthorized access, leading to potential compromises within the system. This loophole poses significant security risks if not addressed.
