Cisco Unity Connection Timing Attack (cisco-sa-ucm-timing-JVbHECOK)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 163057

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

The version of Cisco Unity Connection installed on the remote device is version 12.5(1) prior to 12.5(1)SU6 or 14 prior to 14SU1. It is, therefore, affected by a timing attack due to insufficient protection of a system password.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to determine a sensitive system password.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug IDs CSCwa91887
