cisco-sa-20180815-ucmimps-dos: Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM & Presence Service Denial of Service Vulnerability

First published: Wed Aug 15 2018(Updated: )

A vulnerability in the XCP Router service of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM & Presence Service (CUCM IM&P) and the Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) and Expressway could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a temporary service outage for all IM&P users, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious IPv4 or IPv6 packet to an affected device on TCP port 7400. An exploit could allow the attacker to overread a buffer, resulting in a crash and restart of the XCP Router service. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
