DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Cisco Unity Connection,
which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions and by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

1) An error due to incorrect privilege assignment and validation can
be exploited to e.g. change the password of the administrative user.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires "Help Desk
Administrator" privileges.

2) An error when handling TCP segments can be exploited to terminate
system services by sending specially crafted segments.

Please see the vendor's advisory for a list of affected versions.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 7.1.5b(Su5) when available.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
