Summary

The XML-RPC implementation on Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) devices with software 1.0.x, 1.1.x, 1.5.x, 1.6.x, and 1.7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) via a crafted request, aka Bug ID CSCtj44534.

descriptionAccording to its self-reported version number, the version of Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch running on the remote host has a denial of service vulnerability. Sending a malicious XML-RPC request to TCP port 9000 could crash the call geometry process. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to make the device unusable for future calls.
