A vulnerability in the video endpoint API (xAPI) of Cisco TelePresence Collaboration Endpoint (CE) Software, Cisco TelePresence Codec (TC) Software, and Cisco RoomOS Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct directory traversal attacks on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input to the xAPI of the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the xAPI. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read and write arbitrary files in the system. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need either an In-Room Control or administrator account.

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco TelePresence Collaboration Endpoint (CE), Cisco TelePresence Codec (TC), and Cisco RoomOS Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to escalate privileges to an unrestricted user of the restricted shell. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by including specific arguments when opening an SSH connection to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain unrestricted user access to the restricted shell of an affected device.

A vulnerability in Cisco RoomOS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to write files to the underlying filesystem with root privileges. The vulnerability is due to insufficient permission restrictions on a specific process. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to an affected device with remote support credentials and initiating the specific process on the device and sending crafted data to that process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to write files to the underlying file system with root privileges.

Buffer overflow in the cuil component in Cisco Telepresence System Integrator C Series 4.x before TC4.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (endpoint reboot or process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long location parameter to the getxml program, aka Bug ID CSCtq46496.

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco TelePresence C Series Endpoints, E/EX Personal Video units, and MXP Series Codecs, when using software versions before TC 4.0.0 or F9.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SIP packet to port 5060 or 5061, aka Bug ID CSCtq46500.
