CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedCisco Desk Phone 9800 Series, IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series, and Video Phone 8875 are vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) attack due to improper memory management when processing HTTP packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a continuous stream of crafted HTTP packets, leading to excessive memory consumption and requiring a manual reboot to recover. Organizations using these devices, particularly those with Web Access enabled and registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, should prioritize patching to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
A vulnerability in Cisco Desk Phone 9800 Series, Cisco IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series, and Cisco Video Phone 8875 that are running Cisco Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper memory management when an affected device processes HTTP packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a continuous stream of crafted HTTP packets to the device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to continuously consume memory, resulting in a DoS condition. A manual reboot of the device is required to recover from this condition. Note: For this vulnerability to be exploitable, the phone must be registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) and have Web Access enabled. Web Access is disabled by default.
