  • Then we upgraded our anyconnect client to 4.7 thought that most recent version should have the fix. But the issue remain same in 4.7 as well We had a case with Cisco Tac regarding this they suggested us to use 4.6 as It have support with latest MAC OS.

Hi,


I have a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 OS installed. I am using Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client as a VPN to access my company's network (Intranet). Had been using this software for more than 2 Months and all of a sudden now when I use this Secure Mobility Client, the application is crashing and I get the following error message:

A vulnerability in the uninstaller component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Mac OS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to corrupt the content of any file in the filesystem. The vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of directory paths. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link (symlink) to a target file on a specific path.
