Cisco TelePresence Endpoint SIP INVITE Packet Flood DoS (cisco-sa-20170607-tele)

high Nessus Plugin ID 100838

Language:

Synopsis

A video conferencing application running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The remote host either is running Cisco TelePresence Codec (TC) that is version 7.2.x prior to 7.3.8 or is running Cisco Collaboration Endpoint (CE) software that is version 8.x prior 8.3.0. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) due to a lack of proper flow-control mechanisms within the software. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a flood of SIP INVITE packets, to cause the TelePresence endpoint to reload unexpectedly.

Solution

Upgrade to Cisco TelePresence Codec (TC) version 7.3.8 or Cisco Collaboration Endpoint (CE) version 8.3.0.
