Summary
Nokia MantaRay NM is vulnerable to a sudo privilege escalation vulnerability where a local attacker possessing administrative (local admin) privileges can escalate to full root privileges on the host. Successful exploitation results in root-level access to the filesystem and the ability to execute actions as root. The risk can be temporarily mitigated by restricting the set of commands permitted via sudo for the affected accounts.
