http://secunia.com/advisories/29082/
CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

>From local network
OPERATING SYSTEM:

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Cisco IP Phone 7921, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.
The problem is that server certificates are not validated when using
the PEAP protocol. This can be exploited to e.g. gain knowledge of
authentication credentials when a user is tricked into connecting to
a malicious authentication server.
SOLUTION:
The vendor is reportedly working on a update and recommends using
EAP-TLS instead of PEAP.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
