New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 3.6
Synopsis

Description
According to its self-reported version, Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service is affected by a vulnerability due to improper handling of login requests. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a crafted client login request to an affected device, in order to cause the Cisco XCP Authentication Service to restart, resulting in a DoS condition for new login attempts.
Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
