COMPLETE Summary
Buffer overflow on Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) 5500 series devices with software 1.6.x; Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) devices with software 1.0.x, 1.1.x, 1.5.x, and 1.6.x; Cisco TelePresence endpoint devices with software 1.2.x through 1.6.x; and Cisco TelePresence Manager 1.2.x, 1.3.x, 1.4.x, 1.5.x, and 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Cisco Discovery Protocol packet, aka Bug IDs CSCtd75769, CSCtd75766, CSCtd75754, and CSCtd75761.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

| description | According to its self-reported version number, the version of Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch running on the remote host is earlier than 1.7.0 and, therefore, has the following vulnerabilities: - Servlets used to perform administrative actions are accessible without authentication. (CVE-2011-0383, CVE-2011-0384, CVE-2011-0387) - Unauthenticated attackers can upload files to arbitrary locations. (CVE-2011-0385) - An unauthenticated attacker on the same network segment could send a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol packet, resulting in a buffer overflow. (CVE-2011-0379) - Java RMI access is not properly restricted, which could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-0388) - Receiving a malicious RTCP packet could cause the call control process to crash. (CVE-2011-0389) A remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit the most severe of these vulnerabilities to take complete control of the host. |
