Citrix Licensing has multiple security vulnerabilities that allow malicious users to bypass some security restrictions and conduct denial of service attacks. There are unexplained errors in the components under the Citrix Licensing Management Console, and no detailed vulnerability details are currently available.

MuPDF is prone to multiple integer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to properly validate user-supplied input. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of applications that use the affected library. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. MuPDF 0.7 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

If a Virtual Switching System (VSS) is used to allow two physical Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches to operate as a single logical virtual switch, the "show module switch all" command can display the software version of all FWSMs that belong to switch 1 and switch 2. The output from this command will be similar to the output from "show module <slot number>" but will include module information for the modules in each switch in the VSS. The FWSM offers firewall services with stateful packet filtering and deep packet inspection. Each row of the following Cisco FWSM software table describes a major Cisco FWSM software train and the earliest possible release in that train that contains the fix (the "First Fixed Release") and the anticipated date of availability (if not currently available) in the First Fixed Release column. A device that is running a release that is earlier than the release in a specific column (earlier than the First Fixed Release) is known to be vulnerable. Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20110223-asa.shtml. A separate Cisco Security Advisory has been published to disclose the vulnerability that affects the Cisco FWSM. That advisory is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20110223-fwsm.shtml. Affected versions of Cisco ASA Software vary depending on the specific vulnerability. Vulnerable Products +------------------ For specific version information, refer to the Software Versions and Fixes section of this advisory. Transparent Firewall Packet Buffer Exhaustion Vulnerability +---------------------------------------------------------- A packet buffer exhaustion vulnerability affects multiple versions of Cisco ASA Software when a security appliance is configured to operate in the transparent firewall mode. Transparent firewall mode is enabled on the appliance if the command "firewall transparent" is present in the configuration. The default firewall mode is routed, not transparent. Administrators can determine if SCCP inspection is enabled by issuing the "show service-policy | include skinny" command and confirming that output, such as what is displayed in the following example, is returned. ciscoasa# show service-policy | include skinny Inspect: skinny, packet 0, drop 0, reset-drop 0 Alternatively, a device that has SCCP inspection enabled has a configuration similar to the following: class-map inspection_default match default-inspection-traffic ! policy-map global_policy class inspection_default ... inspect skinny ... ! service-policy global_policy global Note: The service policy could also be applied to a specific interface instead of globally, which is displayed in the previous example. SCCP inspection is enabled by default. The following example displays an affected configuration (Cisco ASA Software version 8.0 and 8.1): router rip ... ! phone-proxy <instance name> media-termination address <IP address> ... <Rest of phone proxy feature configuration> Or (Cisco ASA Software version 8.2 and later): router rip ... ! media-termination <instance name> address <IP address> ! <Rest of phone proxy feature configuration> A security appliance is vulnerable if it is processing RIP messages ("router rip") and if a global media termination address is configured for the Cisco Phone Proxy feature (refer to previous example). Note that Cisco ASA Software versions 8.0 and 8.1 only allow a global media termination address. However, in Cisco ASA Software version 8.2 and later, it is possible to tie a media termination address to an interface. This configuration, which is accomplished by issuing the command "address <IP address> interface <interface name>" in media termination configuration mode, is not affected. Neither RIP nor the Cisco Phone Proxy feature is enabled by default. An affected configuration consists of the following minimum commands: crypto ca trustpoint <trustpoint name> keypair <keypair name> crl configure crypto ca server crypto ca certificate chain <trustpoint name> certificate ca 01 ... ! http server enable The local CA server is not enabled by default. Because Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliances reached the end of software maintenance releases milestone on July 28, 2009, no further software releases will be available. For more information, refer to the End of Life announcement at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps5708/ps5709/ps2030/end_of_life_notice_cisco_pix_525_sec_app.html. How to Determine Software Versions +--------------------------------- To determine whether a vulnerable version of Cisco ASA Software is running on an appliance, administrators can issue the "show version" command. It offers firewall, intrusion prevention system (IPS), anti-X, and virtual private network (VPN) services. The number of available packet buffers may decrease when a security appliance receives IPv6 traffic and is not configured for IPv6 operation. IPv6 transit traffic does not cause a problem. Administrators can check packet buffer utilization by issuing the command "show blocks" and inspecting the output for the number of available 1,550-byte blocks. If the number of blocks is zero (indicated by 0 in the CNT column), then the security appliance may be experiencing this issue. For example: ciscoasa# show blocks SIZE MAX LOW CNT 0 400 360 400 4 200 199 199 80 400 358 400 256 1412 1381 1412 1550 6274 0 0 ... This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtj04707 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2011-0393. Appliances are only vulnerable if SCCP inspection is enabled. Only transit traffic can trigger this vulnerability; traffic that is destined to the appliance will not trigger the vulnerability. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtg69457 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2011-0394. Appliances are vulnerable only if both RIP and the Cisco Phone Proxy feature are enabled. Note: the affected configuration requires that a global media termination address is configured, which is the only possible configuration option in Cisco ASA Software versions 8.0 and 8.1. However, it is possible to tie a media termination address to an interface in Cisco ASA Software version 8.2 and later. This configuration is not vulnerable. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtg66583 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2011-0395. but not system:) when the security appliance is configured as a local CA server. No authentication is required. File systems could contain sensitive information, such as backup device configurations (which may contain passwords or shared secrets), Cisco ASA Software images, or digital certificates. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtk12352 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2011-0396.

The CGI implementation on Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices with software 1.2.x through 1.6.x allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed request, related to "command injection vulnerabilities," aka Bug ID CSCth24671. Cisco TelePresence is a telepresence conferencing solution developed by Cisco. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker must send a malformed request to the affected device's TCP port 443. An attacker must perform three TCP handshakes and establish a legitimate session to exploit these vulnerabilities. Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices are prone to multiple vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary commands, disclose potentially sensitive information, or cause denial-of-service conditions. The solution provides components such as audio and video spaces, which can provide remote participants with a "face-to-face" virtual meeting room effect. The defect that is related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. To determine the current version of software that is running on the endpoint, access the device via SSH and issue the show version command. The output should resemble the following example. The version that is active on the system will be marked by an asterisk character (*). admin: show version primary Factory CTS 1.4.2(2194) *Slot 1 CTS 1.7.1(4750) P1 Slot 2 CTS 1.6.2(2835) P1 admin: In the preceding example, the system has versions 1.4.2, 1.6.2, and 1.7.1 loaded on the device and version 1.7.1 is currently active. A device is affected only by vulnerabilities that are present in the active software version. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= The Cisco TelePresence solution allows for immersive, in-person communication and collaboration over the network with colleagues, prospects, and partners even when they are located in opposite hemispheres. Because the vulnerability is within a UDP based service, the attacker would not be required to perform a handshake prior to making the crafted request. However, due to the fact that this is an information disclosure issue the attacker would need to supply a valid return IP address to retrieve the information. An attacker with the ability to impersonate a Cisco TelePresence Manager system could remotely inject an invalid IP address into a configuration file that could cause a critical service on the device to crash. An endpoint affected by this issue will remain unusable until it has been manually restored to a known good state. Restoration of service may require an administrator to reload software on the affected device. The issue may require that the attacker perform an ARP spoofing or other form of impersonation attack. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to trigger a buffer overflow condition. Because Cisco Discovery Protocol functions at the Data-Link (L2) layer, an attacker must submit an Ethernet frame directly to an affected device. This scenario may be possible when affected systems are part of a bridged network or connected to a nonpartitioned device such as a network hub. Vulnerability Scoring Details +---------------------------- Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Cisco Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS version 2.0.

The problem is CSCtd75769 , CSCtd75766 , CSCtd75754 ,and CSCtd75761 It is a problem.Skillfully crafted by a third party Cisco Discovery An arbitrary command may be executed via a protocol packet. Cisco TelePresence is a telepresence conferencing solution developed by Cisco. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Cisco TelePresence end device that could allow a non-authenticated proximity attacker to trigger a buffer overflow condition. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to send a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol message to the affected system. Since the Cisco Discovery Protocol feature is located at the data link layer, an attacker must send an Ethernet frame directly to the device. Multiple Cisco Telepresence products are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. The attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. This issue is being tracked by the following Cisco Bug IDs: CSCtd75754 CSCtd75769 CSCtd75761 CSCtd75764. The solution provides components such as audio and video spaces, which can provide remote participants with a "face-to-face" virtual meeting room effect. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Cisco Security Advisory: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco TelePresence Recording Server Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20110223-telepresence-ctrs Revision 1.0 For Public Release 2011 February 23 1600 UTC (GMT) +--------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ======= Multiple vulnerabilities exist within the Cisco TelePresence Recording Server.

The TFTP implementation on Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices with software 1.2.x through 1.5.x, 1.6.0, and 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a GET request, aka Bug ID CSCte43876. The problem is Bug ID CSCte43876 It is a problem.By a third party GET Important information may be obtained through a request. Cisco TelePresence is a telepresence conferencing solution developed by Cisco. The attacker must send a TFTP GET request to the UDP port 69 of the affected device. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary commands, disclose potentially sensitive information, or cause denial-of-service conditions. The solution provides components such as audio and video spaces, which can provide remote participants with a "face-to-face" virtual meeting room effect. This advisory addresses Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices and details the following vulnerabilities: * Unauthenticated Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Access * CGI Command Injection * TFTP Information Disclosure * Malicious IP Address Injection * XML-Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Command Injection * Cisco Discovery Protocol Remote Code Execution Duplicate Issue Identification in Other Cisco TelePresence Advisories +-------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cisco Discovery Protocol Remote Code Execution vulnerability affects Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices, Manager, Multipoint Switch, and Recording Server. The defect that is related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. To determine the current version of software that is running on the endpoint, access the device via SSH and issue the show version command. The output should resemble the following example. The version that is active on the system will be marked by an asterisk character (*). admin: show version primary Factory CTS 1.4.2(2194) *Slot 1 CTS 1.7.1(4750) P1 Slot 2 CTS 1.6.2(2835) P1 admin: In the preceding example, the system has versions 1.4.2, 1.6.2, and 1.7.1 loaded on the device and version 1.7.1 is currently active. A device is affected only by vulnerabilities that are present in the active software version. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= The Cisco TelePresence solution allows for immersive, in-person communication and collaboration over the network with colleagues, prospects, and partners even when they are located in opposite hemispheres. Unauthenticated CGI Access Multiple CGI command injection vulnerabilities exist in Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices that could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. * Cisco TelePresence endpoint - CSCtb31640 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0372 CGI Command Injection Multiple CGI command injection vulnerabilities exist in Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices that could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit these vulnerabilities: * Cisco TelePresence endpoint - CSCtb31685 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0373. Because the vulnerability is within a UDP based service, the attacker would not be required to perform a handshake prior to making the crafted request. However, due to the fact that this is an information disclosure issue the attacker would need to supply a valid return IP address to retrieve the information. An attacker with the ability to impersonate a Cisco TelePresence Manager system could remotely inject an invalid IP address into a configuration file that could cause a critical service on the device to crash. An endpoint affected by this issue will remain unusable until it has been manually restored to a known good state. Restoration of service may require an administrator to reload software on the affected device. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. The issue may require that the attacker perform an ARP spoofing or other form of impersonation attack. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to trigger a buffer overflow condition. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must submit a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol packet to an affected system. Because Cisco Discovery Protocol functions at the Data-Link (L2) layer, an attacker must submit an Ethernet frame directly to an affected device. This scenario may be possible when affected systems are part of a bridged network or connected to a nonpartitioned device such as a network hub. Vulnerability Scoring Details +---------------------------- Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Cisco Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS version 2.0.

The XML-RPC implementation on Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices with software 1.2.x through 1.5.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a TCP request, related to a "command injection vulnerability," aka Bug ID CSCtb52587. The problem is Bug ID CSCtb52587 It is a problem.By a third party TCP An arbitrary command may be executed through a request. Cisco TelePresence is a telepresence conferencing solution developed by Cisco. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary commands, disclose potentially sensitive information, or cause denial-of-service conditions. The solution provides components such as audio and video spaces, which can provide remote participants with a "face-to-face" virtual meeting room effect. The defect that is related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. To determine the current version of software that is running on the endpoint, access the device via SSH and issue the show version command. The output should resemble the following example. The version that is active on the system will be marked by an asterisk character (*). admin: show version primary Factory CTS 1.4.2(2194) *Slot 1 CTS 1.7.1(4750) P1 Slot 2 CTS 1.6.2(2835) P1 admin: In the preceding example, the system has versions 1.4.2, 1.6.2, and 1.7.1 loaded on the device and version 1.7.1 is currently active.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= The Cisco TelePresence solution allows for immersive, in-person communication and collaboration over the network with colleagues, prospects, and partners even when they are located in opposite hemispheres. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker must submit a malformed request to an affected device via TCP port 8082. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker must submit a malformed request to an affected device via TCP port 443. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit these vulnerabilities: * Cisco TelePresence endpoint - CSCtb31685 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0373. The attacker would need to have the ability to submit a TFTP GET request via UDP port 69 to the affected device. Because the vulnerability is within a UDP based service, the attacker would not be required to perform a handshake prior to making the crafted request. However, due to the fact that this is an information disclosure issue the attacker would need to supply a valid return IP address to retrieve the information. An attacker with the ability to impersonate a Cisco TelePresence Manager system could remotely inject an invalid IP address into a configuration file that could cause a critical service on the device to crash. An endpoint affected by this issue will remain unusable until it has been manually restored to a known good state. Restoration of service may require an administrator to reload software on the affected device. The attacker would need the ability to submit a malformed SOAP request to an affected device via TCP port 8081 or TCP port 9501. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. The attacker would need the ability to submit a request to an affected system via TCP port 61441 or TCP port 61445. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. The issue may require that the attacker perform an ARP spoofing or other form of impersonation attack. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to trigger a buffer overflow condition. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must submit a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol packet to an affected system. Because Cisco Discovery Protocol functions at the Data-Link (L2) layer, an attacker must submit an Ethernet frame directly to an affected device. This scenario may be possible when affected systems are part of a bridged network or connected to a nonpartitioned device such as a network hub.

Cisco TelePresence Manager 1.2.x through 1.6.x allows remote attackers to perform unspecified actions and consequently execute arbitrary code via a crafted request to the Java RMI interface, related to a "command injection vulnerability," aka Bug ID CSCtf97085. Cisco TelePresence Manager Contains vulnerabilities that allow unspecified operations and arbitrary code execution. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary commands, and bypass authentication. Successful exploits may aid in a complete compromise of an affected device. This security advisory outlines the details of the following vulnerabilities: * Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Authentication Bypass * Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) Command Injection * Cisco Discovery Protocol Remote Code Execution Duplicate Issue Identification in Other Cisco TelePresence Advisories +-------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cisco Discovery Protocol remote code execution vulnerability affects Cisco TelePresence endpoints, Manager, Multipoint Switch, and Recording Server. The details about how the defect relates to each component are covered in each associated advisory. The following table provides information pertaining to affected software releases: +----------------------------------------+ | | Cisco Bug | Affected | | Description | ID | Software | | | | Releases | |----------------+------------+----------| | | | 1.2.x, | | SOAP | | 1.3.x, | | Authentication | CSCtc59562 | 1.4.x, | | Bypass | | 1.5.x, | | | | 1.6.x | |----------------+------------+----------| | | | 1.2.x, | | Java RMI | | 1.3.x, | | Command | CSCtf9085 | 1.4.x, | | Injection | | 1.5.x, | | | | 1.6.x | |----------------+------------+----------| | Cisco | | 1.2.x, | | Discovery | | 1.3.x, | | Protocol | CSCtd75761 | 1.4.x, | | Remote Code | | 1.5.x, | | Execution | | 1.6.2 | +----------------------------------------+ Vulnerable Products +------------------ Cisco TelePresence Manager devices that are running an affected version of software are affected. To determine the current version of software that is running on the Cisco TelePresence Manager, establish an SSH connection to the device and issue the show version active and the show version inactive commands. The output should resemble the following example: admin: show version active Active Master Version: 1.7.0.0-471 Active Version Installed Software Options: No Installed Software Options Found. admin: show version inactive Inactive Master Version: 1.6.0.0-342 Inactive Version Installed Software Options: No Installed Software Options Found. In the preceding example, the system has versions 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 loaded on the device, and version 1.7.0 is currently active. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= The Cisco TelePresence solution allows for immersive, in-person communication and collaboration over the network with colleagues, prospects, and partners, even when they are located in opposite hemispheres. These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. SOAP Authentication Bypass +------------------------- An authentication bypass vulnerability exists that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to invoke arbitrary methods that are available via the SOAP interface on the Cisco TelePresence Manager. The attacker would need the ability to submit a malformed SOAP request that is designed to trigger the vulnerability to the affected device on TCP port 8080 or 8443. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a number of actions on the device with elevated privileges. The attacker would need to be able to submit a crafted request to the affected device on TCP port 1100 or 32000. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit these vulnerabilities. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to trigger a buffer overflow condition. The attacker would need the ability to submit a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol packet to the affected system to exploit this vulnerability. Because Cisco Discovery Protocol operates at Layer 2, an attacker must have a way to submit an Ethernet frame directly to an affected device. This submission may be possible in situations in which the affected system is part of a bridged network or connected to a nonpartitioned device, such as a network hub. Vulnerability Scoring Details +---------------------------- Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS version 2.0. CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at: http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss * CSCtc59562 - SOAP Authentication Bypass CVSS Base Score - 7.5 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Partial Integrity Impact - Partial Availability Impact - Partial CVSS Temporal Score - 6.2 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed * CSCtf97085 - Java RMI Command Injection CVSS Base Score - 10 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 8.3 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed * CSCtd75761 - Cisco Discovery Protocol Remote Code Execution CVSS Base Score - 7.9 Access Vector - Adjacent Network Access Complexity - Medium Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 6.5 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the SOAP Authentication Bypass vulnerability (CSCtc59562) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to issue SOAP requests to the affected system. This could allow the attacker to perform multiple actions that should be restricted to authenticated users. Successful exploitation of the Java RMI Command Injection Vulnerability (CSCtf97085) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to take complete control of the affected device. Successful exploitation of the Cisco Discovery Protocol Remote Code Execution vulnerability (CSCtd75761) could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to take complete control of the affected system. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== When considering software upgrades, also consult http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.

The administrative web interface on Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) devices with software 1.0.x, 1.1.x, 1.5.x, and 1.6.x allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service or have unspecified other impact via vectors involving access to a servlet, aka Bug ID CSCtf97164. The problem is Bug ID CSCtf97164 It is a problem.Service disruption by remotely authenticated user (DoS) You may be put into a state or affected by other details. Cisco TelePresence is a telepresence conferencing solution developed by Cisco. This allows remote authentication, a non-privileged user to perform a denial of service attack on the affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would be required to access ports 80 and 443 of the affected device and submit a specially crafted request. Multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities 2. A security-bypass vulnerability 3. An unauthorized-access vulnerability An attacker can exploit these issues to bypass certain security restrictions and cause a denial-of-service condition. Other attacks are also possible. These issues are being tracked by the following Cisco Bug IDs: CSCtf01253 CSCtf97164 CSCth60993 CSCtj44534. The solution provides components such as audio and video spaces, which can provide remote participants with a "face-to-face" virtual meeting room effect. The defect as related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. The defect as related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. The defect as related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. The defect as related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. The output should resemble the following example: admin: show version active Active Master Version: 1.7.0.0-471 Active Version Installed Software Options: No Installed Software Options Found. admin: show version inactive Inactive Master Version: 1.6.1.0-336 Inactive Version Installed Software Options: No Installed Software Options Found. In the preceding example, the system has versions 1.6.1 and 1.7.0 loaded on the device and version 1.7.0 is currently active. A device is only affected by vulnerabilities in the active software version. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities Details ======= The Cisco TelePresence solution allows for immersive, in-person communication and collaboration over the network with colleagues, prospects, and partners even when they are located in opposite hemispheres. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit these vulnerabilities. * CTMS - CSCtf42008 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0383. * CTMS - CSCtf01253 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0384. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. * CTMS - CSCth61065 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0385. When parsed, the malicious packet may trigger a buffer overflow. Because Cisco Discovery Protocol works at the data link layer (Layer 2), an attacker must have a way to submit an Ethernet frame directly to an affected device. This may be possible in situations where the affected system is part of a bridged network or connected to a nonpartitioned device such as a network hub. * CTMS - CSCtd75766 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0379. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. * CTMS - CSCtf97164 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0387. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could trigger an out-of-memory condition on the servlet host by issuing a series of crafted requests. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. * CTMS - CSCtg35825 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0388. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could send a malicious RTCP packet to a listening RTCP control port to crash the call control process. This could allow the attacker to spoof the source address of an attack. * CTMS - CSCth60993 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0389. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. * CTMS - CSCtj44534 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-0390.

The XML-RPC implementation on Cisco TelePresence Recording Server devices with software 1.6.x and 1.7.x before 1.7.1 allows remote attackers to overwrite files and consequently execute arbitrary code via a malformed request, aka Bug ID CSCti50739. Cisco TelePresence is a Cisco TelePresence solution that works in time with colleagues, partners, and customers around the world. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary commands, cause denial-of-service conditions, gain unauthorized access, or potentially completely compromise an affected device. The solution provides components such as audio and video spaces, which can provide remote participants with a "face-to-face" virtual meeting room effect. This security advisory outlines details of the following vulnerabilities: * Unauthenticated Java Servlet Access * Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Command Injection * Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload * XML-Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Arbitrary File Overwrite * Cisco Discovery Protocol Remote Code Execution * Ad Hoc Recording Denial of Service * Java Remote method Invocation (RMI) Denial of Service * Unauthenticated XML-RPC Interface Duplicate Issue Identification in Other Cisco TelePresence Advisories +-------------------------------------------------------------------- The Unauthenticated Java Servlet Access vulnerability affects the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch and Recording Server. The defect that is related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. The defect that is related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. The defect that is related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. The defect that is related to each component is covered in each associated advisory. To determine the current version of software that is running on the Cisco TelePresence Recording Server, SSH into the device and issue the show version active and the show version inactive commands. The output should resemble the following example: admin: show version active Active Master Version: 1.7.0.0-151 Active Version Installed Software Options: No Installed Software Options Found. admin: show version inactive Inactive Master Version: 1.6.2.0-237 Inactive Version Installed Software Options: No Installed Software Options Found. In the preceding example, the system has versions 1.6.2 and 1.7.0 loaded on the device and version 1.7.0 is currently active. A device is affected only by vulnerabilities that are present in the active software version. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. Unauthenticated Java Servlet Access +---------------------------------- A number of sensitive Java Servlets delivered via a Java Servlet framework within the Cisco TelePresence Recording Server could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to perform actions that should be restricted to administrative users. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need the ability to submit a crafted request to an affected device on TCP port 80, TCP port 443, or TCP port 8080. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit these vulnerabilities. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the attacker would need the ability to submit a malformed request to an affected device via TCP port 443. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit these vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could place content to arbitrary locations on the device by submitting crafted requests to the affected device. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the attacker would need the ability to submit a crafted request to an affected device on TCP port 80 or 443. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability could be leveraged to obtain full control of the affected device. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the attacker would need the ability to submit a malformed request to an affected device via TCP port 12102 or 12104. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to trigger a buffer overflow condition. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must submit a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol packet to the affected system. Because Cisco Discovery Protocol works at the data-link layer (Layer 2), an attacker must have a way to submit an Ethernet frame directly to an affected device. This may be possible in situations where the affected system is part of a bridged network or connected to a nonpartitioned device such as a network hub. The vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause all recording and playback threads on the device to be consumed. A restart of the affected device may be required to regain functionality. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the attacker would need the ability to submit a malformed request to an affected device via TCP port 80. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. Java RMI Denial of Service +------------------------- A denial of service vulnerability exists within Cisco TelePresence Recording Server devices due to a failure to properly restrict access to the RMI interface of the Java Servlet framework. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could trigger an out-of-memory condition on the Servlet host by issuing a series of crafted requests. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the attacker would need the ability to communicate to an affected device on TCP port 8999. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a limited number of actions on the system that should be restricted to authorized users. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the attacker would need the ability to communicate to an affected device on TCP port 8080. An attacker must perform a three-way TCP handshake and establish a valid session to exploit this vulnerability.
