CVE-2008-4545

TITLE

Cisco Unity Vulnerable to obtaining confidential information

DESCRIPTION

Cisco Unity 4.x before 4.2(1)ES161, 5.x before 5.0(1)ES53, and 7.x before 7.0(2)ES8 uses weak permissions for the D:\CommServer\Reports directory, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by reading files in this directory. Cisco Unity is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities, including: - An information-disclosure vulnerability in the web interface - A denial-of-service vulnerability in the administration interface - A script-injection vulnerability in the web interface - Multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities in unspecified services These issues are reported in Cisco Unity 7.0; other versions may also be affected. Cisco Unity is a voice and unified messaging platform. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you need accurate and reliable IDS / IPS / AV detection rules?

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities requires that the Cisco Unity server is configured for anonymous authentication (not the default configuration). 3) A security issue is caused due to insecure permissions on "\CommServer\Reports", which can be exploited by domain users to disclose potentially sensitive information. SOLUTION: Update to version 4.0ES161, 5.0ES53, or 7.0ES8. http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/Redirect.x?mdfid=274246502 PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: VoIPshield Systems ORIGINAL ADVISORY: Cisco: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20081008-unity.shtml http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sr-20081008-unity.shtml VoIPshield: http://www.voipshield.com/research-details.php?id=126&s=1&threats_details=&threats_category=0&threats_vendor=0&limit=20&sort=discovered&sortby=DESC http://www.voipshield.com/research-details.php?id=128&s=1&threats_details=&threats_category=0&threats_vendor=0&limit=20&sort=discovered&sortby=DESC http://www.voipshield.com/research-details.php?id=130&s=1&threats_details=&threats_category=0&threats_vendor=0&limit=20&sort=discovered&sortby=DESC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About: This Advisory was delivered by Secunia as a free service to help everybody keeping their systems up to date against the latest vulnerabilities.
