Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal
Server applications / Other server solutions

Vendor: Cisco Systems, Inc

Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) management connection interface due to improper handling of a TCP connection request when the IVR connection is already established. A remote attacker can initiate a specially crafted connection to the IP address, disconnect the IVR to CVP connection and prevent the CVP from accepting new, incoming calls while the IVR automatically attempts to re-establish the connection to the CVP.

Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
