Cisco Video Surveillance Stream Manager firmware for the Cisco Video Surveillance Services Platforms and Cisco Video Surveillance Integrated Services Platforms contain a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability that could result in a reboot on systems that receive a crafted packet.
Cisco Video Surveillance 2500 Series IP Cameras contain an information disclosure vulnerability that could allow an authenticated user to view any file on a vulnerable camera.
Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that mitigate these vulnerabilities.
This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090624-video.shtml.
The following products are vulnerable:
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities.
Cisco Video Surveillance Services Platforms and Cisco Video Surveillance Integrated Services Platforms are vulnerable to a DoS condition. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted packet to UDP port 37000, which could cause the crash of a critical process and result in a system reboot. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsj47924 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2009-2045.
Cisco Video Surveillance 2500 Series IP Cameras contain an information disclosure vulnerability. An authenticated user may be able to access a vulnerable camera and view any file through the embedded web server on TCP ports 80 (HTTP) and/or 443 (HTTPS), depending on the camera configuration. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug IDs CSCsu05515 and CSCsr96497 (Wireless Cameras) and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2009-2046.
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:

Successful exploitation of the Cisco Video Surveillance Stream Manager firmware vulnerability could cause a system reboot. Repeated exploitation may result in an extended DoS condition, which could prevent administrators from viewing video surveillance feeds.
Successful exploitation of the Cisco Video Surveillance 2500 Series IP Cameras vulnerability could allow an authenticated user to view any file on a vulnerable camera. This vulnerability could allow a non-privileged user to obtain privileged access.
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.
Cisco Video Surveillance Stream Manager firmware for the Cisco Video Surveillance Services Platform version 5.3 is available for download here:
Cisco Video Surveillance Stream Manager firmware for the Cisco Video Surveillance Integrated Services Platform version 5.3 is available for download here:
Cisco Video Surveillance 2500 Series IP Camera firmware version 2.1 is available for download here:
Although there are no workarounds for these vulnerabilities, it is possible to mitigate the vulnerabilities through the use of network filters. Administrators are advised to restrict access to UDP port 37000 on vulnerable Cisco Video Surveillance Services Platform and Integrated Services Platform systems to trusted hosts. On Cisco Video Surveillance 2500 Series IP Cameras, administrators are advised to restrict access to TCP ports 80 and 443 to trusted hosts.
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, which is available at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090624-video.shtml
Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. Prior to deploying software, customers should consult their maintenance provider or check the software for feature set compatibility and known issues specific to their environment.
Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html, or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads 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 contracts should obtain upgraded software through their regular update channels. For most customers, this means that upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com.
Customers whose Cisco products 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 support organization for guidance and assistance with the appropriate course of action in regards to this advisory.
The effectiveness of any workaround or fix is dependent on specific customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult with their service provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed.
Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract, and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should acquire upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows.
Customers should have their product serial number available and be prepared to give the URL of this notice as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC.
Refer to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html for additional TAC contact information, including localized telephone numbers, and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various languages.
