-
Cisco Video Surveillance Stream Manager firmware for the Cisco Video
Surveillance Services Platform versions prior to 5.3
-
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.
-
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.
