CVE-2007-6190

TITLE

Cisco Unified IP Phone of HTTP Eavesdropping vulnerability in daemon

DESCRIPTION

The HTTP daemon in the Cisco Unified IP Phone, when the Extension Mobility feature is enabled, allows remote authenticated users of other phones associated with the same CUCM server to eavesdrop on the physical environment via a CiscoIPPhoneExecute message containing a URL attribute of an ExecuteItem element that specifies a Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) audio stream. Cisco Unified IP Phone is prone to a vulnerability that allows eavesdropping. An attacker can exploit this issue to transmit or receive audio stream data to an unsuspecting victim. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow the attacker to access sensitive information. If the attack is successful, the IP phone will turn on the microphone status light, and the phone will display an off-hook icon to indicate that a call is in progress. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003: 2,700 advisories published 2004: 3,100 advisories published 2005: 4,600 advisories published 2006: 5,300 advisories published How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?

The problem is that the Extension Mobility authentication credentials are not encrypted when communicating with the internal web server of an IP phone. This can be exploited to sniff the authentication credentials and perform various actions on a target IP phone (e.g. remotely login/logout a user or eavesdrop on calls). Successful exploitation requires that the Extension Mobility feature is enabled (not enabled by default). The weakness affects all Cisco IP Phones that support the Extension Mobility feature. SOLUTION: The vendor has provided some workaround to mitigate this issue. Please see the vendor's advisory for details.
