Unspecified vulnerability in Command EXEC in Cisco IOS allows local users to bypass command restrictions and obtain sensitive information via an unspecified "variation of an IOS command" involving "two different methods", aka CSCsk16129. NOTE: as of 20071016, the only disclosure is a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, since it is from a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.
