What is CVE-2002-0628?

The Telnet service in Polycom ViewStation versions prior to 7.2.4 lacks proper restrictions on failed login attempts. This deficiency allows remote attackers to execute brute force attacks, making it easier to guess valid usernames and passwords. Such an exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive features and configurations of the videoconferencing product.
