Version Summary: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace contains a vulnerability that
could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks
on a targeted system. Updates are available.
Description
A vulnerability in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace could allow an authenticated,
remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of
the affected system by executing arbitrary SQL queries.
The vulnerability is due to failure to validate user-supplied input used in
SQL queries. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted
SQL statement to an affected system. Successful exploitation could allow the
attacker to read, modify, or delete entries in some database tables.
Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates.
Warning Indicators
At the time this alert was first published, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace release
8.6(1.2) was vulnerable. Later releases of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace may also
be vulnerable.
IntelliShield Analysis
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must authenticate to the targeted
system. This access requirement reduces the likelihood of a successful
exploit.
Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that functional exploit code exists;
however, the code is not known to be publicly available.
Vendor Announcements
Cisco has released bug ID CSCuu54037 for registered users, which contains
additional details and an up-to-date list of affected product versions.
Impact
An authenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability to read,
modify, or delete entries in some database tables on an affected system. A
successful exploit could be used to conduct further attacks.
Technical Information
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input
used in SQL queries submitted to an affected system.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted SQL statements
to a targeted system. An exploit could allow the attacker to read, modify, or
delete entries in some database tables on the system, which could be used to
conduct further attacks.
Safeguards
