Details
=======

Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 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, voice-over-IP (VoIP)
gateways, and multimedia applications.

When a CUCM server is deployed in secure mode, a Certificate Trust
List (CTL) is used by Cisco Unified IP Phone devices to verify the
identity of CUCM servers. The CTL contains public keys and other
information to allow the Cisco IP Phone devices to establish a
trusted relationship with a CUCM server. The CTL is provisioned using
the CTL Provider service on a CUCM server and with the CTL Provider
client on an administrator workstation. The CTL Provider service
needs to be enabled during the initial configuration of a CUCM server
/cluster or when changes are required to the CTL. Please consult the
Workarounds section of this advisory for information on how to
determine if the CTL Provider service is enabled on a CUCM server.

The CTL Provider service of the CUCM contains a heap overflow
vulnerability that could allow a remote, unauthenticated user to
cause a DoS condition or execute arbitrary code. The CTL Provider
service listens on TCP port 2444 by default, but the port can be
modified by the user. This issue is documented in Cisco Bug ID
CSCsj22605.

Vulnerability Scoring Details

Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS Version 2.0. CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss CSCsj22605 - CUCM CTL Provider Heap Overflow Vulnerability CVSS Base Score - 10 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 8.3 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in a DoS condition or the execution of arbitrary code. Software Versions and Fixes
When considering software upgrades, also consult http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should exercise caution to be certain the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or your contracted maintenance provider for assistance. Workarounds =========== It is possible to workaround the vulnerability by disabling the CTL Provider service when not in use. Access to the CTL Provider service is required for the initial configuration of the CUCM authentication and encryption features, or during configuration updates. For the CUCM 4.x systems, please consult the following documentation for details on how to disable the CUCM services: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a008070ec49.html Filtering traffic to the affected CUCM systems on screening devices can be used as a mitigation technique for this vulnerability. To mitigate the CTL Producer service overflow, access to TCP port 2444 should be permitted only between the CUCM servers and administrator workstations running the CTL Provider client. There is currently no supported method to configure filtering directly on a CUCM system. It is possible to change the default ports of the CTL Provider (TCP port 2444) service. If changed, filtering should be based on the port value used. The value of the port can be viewed in CUCM Administration interface by following the System > Service Parameters menu and selecting the CTL Provider service. Filters blocking access to TCP port 2444 should be deployed at the network edge as part of a transit access control list (tACL). Further information about transit access control lists is available in the white paper "Transit Access Control Lists: Filtering at Your Edge," which is available at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801afc76.shtml Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion document for this advisory: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20080116-cucmctl.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software
