Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified Contact Center Express and Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response contain a directory traversal vulnerability that may allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the filesystem.
The vulnerability is due to improper input validation, and could allow the attacker to traverse the filesystem directory. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted URL to the affected system.
The vulnerability in Cisco Unified Contact Center Express and Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response could be exploited over TCP port 8080 in 6.0(x) and 7.0(x) versions and TCP port 9080 starting in 8.0(x) version of the product.
Note: In Cisco Unified Contact Center Express and Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response versions 6.0(x) and 7.0(x), port 8080 could be reconfigured on the server.
This advisory addresses the vulnerability in Cisco Unified Contact Center Express and Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response, which is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCts44049, (registered customers only) and has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2011-3315.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
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.
