Detail

Versions of the Cisco Application Velocity System (AVS) prior to software version AVS 5.1.0 do not prompt users to modify system account passwords during the initial configuration process. Because there is no requirement to change these credentials during the initial configuration process, an attacker may be able to leverage the accounts that have default credentials, some of which have root privileges, to take full administrative control of the AVS system.

After upgrading to software version AVS 5.1.0, users will be prompted to modify these credentials.

Cisco will make free upgrade software available to address this vulnerability for affected customers. The software upgrade will be applicable only for the AVS 3120, 3180, and 3180A systems. The workaround identified in this document describes how to change the passwords in current releases of software for the AVS 3110.

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2008-0029 has been assigned to this vulnerability.
