Description:
Dirk Wetter has reported a vulnerability in Avocent CCM, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "connect" command in restricting access to certain serial ports. This can be exploited by malicious users to bypass port-based access control by directly connecting to the console server via SSH, and then using the "connect" command to access the port.

The vulnerability has been reported in CCM4850 with firmware 2.1.
