For Public Release 2009 September 23
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
Cisco IOS� devices that are configured for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Express (CME) and the Extension Mobility
feature are vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability. Successful
exploitation of this vulnerability may result in the execution of
arbitrary code or a Denial of Service (DoS) condition on an affected
device.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this
vulnerability.
This advisory is posted at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20090923-cme.shtml
Note: The September 23, 2009, Cisco IOS Security Advisory bundled
publication includes eleven Security Advisories. Ten of the
advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one
advisory addresses a vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the

Affected Products
=================
Cisco IOS devices, including Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series,
that are configured for Cisco Unified CME and the Extension Mobility
feature are affected.
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
A Cisco IOS device that is configured for Cisco Unified CME and
Extension Mobility contains the following output when the show
running-config command is issued:
ephone [Ethernet phone tag]
...
logout-profile [logout-profile tag]
To determine the Cisco IOS Software release that is running on a
Cisco product, administrators can log in to the device and issue the
"show version" command to display the system banner. The system banner
confirms that the device is running Cisco IOS Software by displaying
text similar to "Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software" or
"Cisco IOS Software." The image name is displayed in parentheses,
followed by "Version" and the Cisco IOS Software release name. Other
Cisco devices do not have the "show version" command or may provide
different output.
The following example identifies a Cisco product that is running
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(26) with an installed image name of
C2500-IS-L:
Router#show version
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-IS-L), Version 12.3(26), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

Cisco IOS devices that are configured for Survivable Remote Site
Telephony (SRST) Mode are not affected.
Cisco IOS XR is not affected.
Cisco IOS XE is not affected.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is not affected.
Cisco Unified CME is not affected unless configured to use the
Extension Mobility feature.
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these
vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
Cisco Unified CME is the call processing component of an enhanced IP
telephony solution that is integrated into Cisco IOS.
The Extension Mobility feature in Cisco Unified CME provides the
benefit of phone mobility for end users. A user login service allows
phone users to temporarily access a physical phone other than their
own phone and utilize their personal settings, such as directory
number, speed-dial lists, and services, that is assigned to their own
desk phone. The phone user can make and receive calls on that phone
using the same personal directory number as is on their own desk
phone. More information on Extension Mobility feature is available at
the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmemobl.html
A vulnerability in the login section of the Extension Mobility
feature may allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary
code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. Such packets can
only come from registered phone IP addresses in the form of HTTP
requests. If the auto-registration feature is enabled, an attacker
can register its IP address and subsequently send a crafted payload
to exploit this vulnerability. The auto-registration feature is
enabled by default. More information on auto-registration can be
found at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/command/reference/cme_a1ht.html#wp1031242.
This vulnerability is addressed by the Cisco Bug ID CSCsq58779 and has
been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2009-2865.

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in the
execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service (DoS) condition on
an affected device.
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.
Each row of the Cisco IOS software table (below) names a Cisco IOS
release train. If a given release train is vulnerable, then the
earliest possible releases that contain the fix (along with the
anticipated date of availability for each, if applicable) are listed
in the "First Fixed Release" column of the table. The "Recommended
Release" column indicates the releases which have fixes for all the
published vulnerabilities at the time of this Advisory. A device
running a release in the given train that is earlier than the release
in a specific column (less than the First Fixed Release) is known to
be vulnerable. Cisco recommends upgrading to a release equal to or
later than the release in the "Recommended Releases" column of the
table.

Workarounds
===========
There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability, other than
disabling Extension Mobility. However, auto-registration can be
disabled to make exploitation more difficult. Auto-registration can
be disabled by the following command:
telephony-service
no auto-reg-ephone
Before disabling auto-registration, all phone MAC addresses need to
be explicitly defined on the Cisco Unified CME. Otherwise phones will
not be able to register. More information on auto-registration can be
found at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/command/reference/cme_a1ht.html#wp1031242
