Cisco-SA-20140728-CVE-2014-3328 · Medium · Published · Updated

A vulnerability in the Intercluster Sync Agent Service on Cisco Unified Presence Server could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to a SYN flood. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by exceeding the tcp max connections parameter. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability in a security notice; however, software updates are not available. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be in a position to send large amounts of SYN packets to the targeted device. In a typical enterprise network, the targeted device may reside on trusted, internal networks behind a firewall, which may reduce the possibility of an external attack. Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that functional exploit code exists; however, the code is not known to be publicly available.
