CWE-399
Summary
A vulnerability in the HTTP remote procedure call (RPC) service of set-top box
(STB) receivers manufactured by Cisco for Yes could allow an unauthenticated,
remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected
device.
The vulnerability exists because the firmware of an affected device fails to
handle certain XML values that are passed to the HTTP RPC service listening on
the local subnet of the device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability
by submitting a malformed request to an affected device. A successful attack
could cause the affected device to restart, resulting in a DoS condition.
Yes has updated the affected devices with firmware that addresses this
vulnerability. Customers are not required to take action.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
