HTTP: Cisco VoIP Phone StreamingStatistics DoS
This signature detects denial-of-service (DoS) attempts against Cisco VoIP phones. Versions CP-7910 and later are vulnerable. Attackers can send an arbitrarily long (120000+) StreamID to the StreamingStatistics script to cause the phone to reset, creating a DoS for 30 seconds (or until the phone reboots).
Extended Description
The 7900 series VoIP Phones are a Voice-Over-IP solution distributed by Cisco Systems. It is possible to deny service to users of this line of phones. By placing a request to the /StreamingStatistics script with a stream ID (i.e. http://www.example.com/StreamingStatistics?<stream> where <stream> is an integer value) of arbitrarily high value, the phone will reset itself, creating the inability to place or receive calls for a period of up to thirty seconds. This has been reportedly reproduced by passing stream ID values of greater than 32768, and consistently reproduced with a value of 120000.
