The AXP upgrade process provides key features such as automatic deletion of previously installed files that are not included in the upgrade package. However, in order to not delete previously installed files, the upgrade process requires that previously installed files be included in the upgrade package which can lead to bloated packages.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Upgrade to Cisco AXP version 1.1.7 Highly Recommended

This notice addresses vulnerability in the AXP techsupport support shell EXEC mode CLI. Specifically, "awk" and "more" utilities have been removed from the shell to plug mechanisms within those utilities that permit escaping from the "restricted" shell environment to "unrestricted" mode that may potentially allow full access to AXP guest/host file systems.

Future AXP releases may reinstate the removed "awk" and "more" utilities by disabling the mechanisms that permit escapes out of the restricted shell environment.
