Cisco IP Phone Firmware Vulnerability Could Lead to DoS Condition

CVE-2024-20376

Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in the web-based management interface of Cisco IP Phone firmware that exposes devices to potential denial of service attacks. Due to inadequate validation of user-supplied input, an unauthenticated remote attacker may craft a malicious request targeting the interface of the affected devices. If successfully executed, the attack could lead to the affected device reloading, consequently disrupting service and impacting availability. The issue underscores the necessity for robust input validation mechanisms within management interfaces to prevent unauthorized disruptions.
