        "text": "A vulnerability in the Redis implementation used by the Cisco Policy Suite for Mobile and Cisco Policy Suite Diameter Routing Agent software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to modify key-value pairs for short-lived events stored by the Redis server.\r\n\r\nThe vulnerability is due to improper authentication when accessing the Redis server. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by modifying key-value pairs stored within the Redis server database.  An exploit could allow the attacker to reduce the efficiency of the Cisco Policy Suite for Mobile and Cisco Policy Suite Diameter Routing Agent software.\r\n\r\nCisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability for Cisco Policy Suite for Mobile.\r\n\r\nCurrently there is no software release available for Cisco Policy Suite Diameter Routing Agent software. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability, but a mitigation for Cisco Policy Suite Diameter Routing Agent software exists. See the Workarounds [\"#wk\"] section for more details.\r\n\r\n  "
