Until this process restarts, no new connections can be processed. Existing connections will continue to work. Cisco Unified Contact Center Express and Cisco IP Contact Center Express are not affected by this vulnerability. Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability for affected customers. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070110-jtapi.shtml. Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ All versions of Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise, Cisco Unified Contact Center Hosted, Cisco IP Contact Center Enterprise, and Cisco IP Contact Center Hosted editions are affected. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- * Cisco Unified Contact Center Express and Cisco IP Contact Center Express editions are not affected. * Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise and Hosted are not affected. No other Cisco products are known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (formerly Cisco IP Contact Center [IPCC] Enterprise), an integral component of the Cisco Unified Communications system, provides intelligent routing and call treatment with blending of multiple communication channels. Cisco Unified Contact Center Hosted (formerly known as Cisco IP Contact Center [IPCC] Hosted) is a platform that enables customers to move to a Customer Interaction Network. The Customer Interaction Network is a distributed, IP-based customer service infrastructure comprising a suite of multichannel services and customer relationship management applications. A vulnerability exists in all versions of Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise, Cisco Unified Contact Center Hosted, Cisco IP Contact Center Enterprise, and Cisco IP Contact Center Hosted editions that may result in the restart of JTapi Gateway process. The restart of this process can take up to several minutes and during this time no new calls can be processed. Existing calls continue to work. If the system is deployed in a redundant way, the redundant system will take over preventing a loss of service. However the JTapi Gateway on the redundant system can also be restarted by exploiting the same vulnerability. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker will need to complete a 3-way TCP handshake to the JTapi server port. This port number can be dependent on how the product is deployed and whether there is a redundant pair of servers. It can be found in the Windows registry by looking up the jtapiServerPortNumber value in the Windows Registry, located at: * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\ICM\ [instanceName]\PG[Number][A/B]\PG\CurrentVersion\JGWS\jgw[number] \JGWData\Config. Vulnerability Scoring Details +---------------------------- Cisco is providing scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). Cisco will provide a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco PSIRT will set the bias in all cases to normal. Customers are encouraged to apply the bias parameter when determining the environmental impact of a particular vulnerability. CVSS is a standards based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. Cisco has provided a FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html. Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at https://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCsh15483 (registered customers only) - Third party connects to JGW's TCP port, JGW asserts and fails over. CVSS Base Score: 3.3 - - Access Vector: Remote - - Access Complexity: Low - - Authentication: Not Required - - Confidentiality Impact: None - - Integrity Impact: None - - Availability Impact: Complete - - Impact Bias: Normal CVSS Temporal Score: 2.7 - - Exploitability: Functional - - Remediation Level: Official Fix - - Report Confidence: Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in the restart of JTapi Gateway process. Restarting this process can take several minutes and during this time no new calls can be processed. Existing calls continue to work without any problems. Software Version and Fixes ========================== When considering software upgrades, also consult http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should exercise caution to be certain the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
