Cisco Security Advisory: Open Query Interface in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Presence Server
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20110824-cucm-cups
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2011 August 24 1600 UTC (GMT)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (previously known as Cisco

versions.
Cisco has released free updated software for most supported releases.
A security patch file is also available for all supported versions
that will remediate this issue. The patch may be applied to active
systems without requiring a reload. Customers are advised to apply a
fixed version or upgrade to a fixed train. Customers who need to stay
on a version for which updated software is not currently available or

Details
=======
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the call processing component
of the Cisco IP Telephony solution that extends enterprise telephony
features and functions to packet telephony network devices such as IP
phones, media processing devices, VoIP gateways, and multimedia
applications.
Cisco Unified Presence Server is a standards-based enterprise
platform that brings people together in and across organizations.
This open and extensible platform facilitates the secure exchange of
availability and instant messaging (IM) information between Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and other applications.
Open Query Interface
+-------------------
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Presence
Server contain an open query interface that could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose some or all of the data
contained in the underlying databases. This data may include
authentication credentials, configuration details, and other
sensitive information.
To exploit this issue, an attacker must have the ability to open an
SSL connection to an affected device via TCP ports 443 or 8443. A
completed three-way TCP handshake is required to exploit this
vulnerability.
This vulnerability has been assigned CVE identifier CVE-2011-1643.
The vulnerability is documented in the following Cisco BugIDs:
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager - CSCti81574
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager - CSCto63060
* Cisco Unified Communications Manager - CSCto72183
* Cisco Unified Presence Server - CSCto73833
Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================
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:
http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss.

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in the full
disclosure of the contents of the affected products underlying
database. Contents may include authentication credentials,
configuration details, and other sensitive information.
Because the vulnerability is restricted to read-only access, it can
not be directly exploited to manipulate data held in the database.
However, with the appropriate knowledge an attacker could leverage
the obtained information to gain administrative access to the Web
based management interface.
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.

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 without Service Contracts
+----------------------------------
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.
