Detail

Cisco Unified Communications Manager devices may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker with the ability to send crafted Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) messages to an affected device to cause a reload or execute attacker-controlled SQL code.

Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.

Workarounds that mitigate these vulnerabilities are available.

This advisory is available at the following link: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120229-cucm

Affected Products

Vulnerable Products

The following products are affected by the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory:

* Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software versions 6.x
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software versions 7.x
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software versions 8.x
* Cisco Business Edition 3000
* Cisco Business Edition 5000
* Cisco Business Edition 6000

Note: Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 6.1 reached the End of Software Maintenance on September 3, 2011. Customers using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software versions 6.x, should contact their Cisco support team for assistance in upgrading to a supported version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable --

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities.

Details

Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the call processing component of the Cisco IP Telephony solution that extends enterprise telephony features and functions to packet telephony network devices, such as IP phones, media processing devices, VoIP gateways, and multimedia applications.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager contains two vulnerabilities that involve the processing of SCCP packets. These issues may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker with the ability to send crafted SCCP messages to an affected device to cause a reload or execute attacker-controlled SQL code. Both SCCP ports (TCP ports 2000 and 2443) are affected.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager SCCP Registration may Cause Reload

Cisco Unified Communication Manager may reload when a specially crafted SCCP message is processed. Successful exploitation could cause a loss of all voice services that are being handled by the affected device. After the device restarts, voice services will be restored. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtu73538 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2011-4486.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Vulnerable to Blind SQL Injection During Registration

Cisco Unified Communications Manager may allow the blind execution of attacker-controlled SQL code when processing a specially crafted SCCP message. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to modify certain sections of the SQL database that are utilized by the device. This vulnerability is also documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtu73538 and has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2011-4487.

Vulnerability Scoring Details

Cisco has scored the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this security advisory is in accordance with CVSS version 2.0.

CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps organizations determine the urgency and priority of a response.

Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can also compute environmental scores that help determine the impact of the vulnerability in their own networks.

Cisco has provided additional information regarding CVSS at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html

Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to compute the environmental impact for individual networks at the following link: http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss

* CSCtu73538 - Cisco Unified Communications Manager SCCP Registration may Cause Reload

CVSS Base Score - 7.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - Complete

CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed

* CSCtu73538 - Cisco Unified Communications Manager Vulnerable to Blind SQL Injection During Registration

CVSS Base Score - 5.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Medium Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - Partial Availability Impact - Partial

CVSS Temporal Score - 4.8 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed

Impact

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger a device reload or execute SQL commands against the back-end database. A successful SQL injection could result in the retrieval or modification of data or a persistent denial of service (DoS) condition on the affected device. In the case of a device reload, Cisco Unified Communications Manager will restart the affected processes, but repeated attacks may result in a sustained DoS condition.

Software Versions and Fixes

When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to consult the Cisco Security Advisories and Responses archive at: http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt

Review subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.

In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.

Workarounds =

Administrators can mitigate these vulnerabilities limiting access to TCP ports 2000 and 2443 to only allow traffic from networks that require SCCP access to Cisco Unified Communications Manager appliances.

Additional mitigation techniques that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion document for this advisory: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoAppliedMitigationBulletin/cisco-amb-20120229-cucm

Obtaining Fixed Software

Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerabilities described in this advisory. Prior to deploying software, customers are advised to consult their maintenance providers or check the software for feature set compatibility and known issues that are specific to their environments.

Customers may only install and expect support for feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html

Or as set forth at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml

Do not contact psirt@cisco.com or security-alert@cisco.com for software upgrades.

Customers with Service Contracts ---

Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through their regular update channels. For most customers, upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco.com at: http://www.cisco.com

Customers Using Third-Party Support Organizations -

Customers with Cisco products that are provided or maintained through prior or existing agreements with third-party support organizations, such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers, should contact that organization for assistance with the appropriate course of action.

The effectiveness of any workaround or fix depends on specific customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Because of the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult their service providers or support organizations to ensure that any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate in the intended network before it is deployed.

Customers Without Service Contracts -

Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC):

* +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America) * +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
* e-mail: tac@cisco.com

Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Customers without service contracts should request free upgrades through the TAC.
