-
This advisory describes a vulnerability that affects Cisco products and applications that are installed on Microsoft operating systems incorporating the use of the Internet Information Server (IIS), and is based on the vulnerability of IIS, not due to a defect of the Cisco product or application.
A number of vulnerabilities were discovered that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code or perform a denial of service against the server. These vulnerabilities were discovered and publicly announced by Microsoft in their Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-018.

This section provides details on affected products.
Vulnerable Products
All Cisco products and applications that are using Microsoft IIS are considered vulnerable.
To determine if a product is vulnerable, review the list below. If the software versions or configuration information are provided, then only those combinations are vulnerable.
-
Cisco CallManager 3.0, 3.1, 3.2
-
Cisco ICS 7750
-
Cisco Unity
-
Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager 4.x, 5.x

The following Cisco products may be installed on various web servers and are vulnerable if installed on a Microsoft IIS server:
-
Cisco Collaboration Server (CCS)
-
Cisco Dynamic Content Adapter (DCA)
-
Cisco Media Blender (CMB)
-
TrailHead (Part of the Web Gateway solution)
Various Cisco Network Management products may be installed on Microsoft platforms that may be running a vulnerable version of IIS. Much older versions of CiscoWorks 2000 RWAN/CWSI Campus v2.x and Cisco Voice Manager v1.x are directly vulnerable because IIS was required as a part of the installation. Such systems might be offering HTTP services on default ports. These specific software packages are no longer supported, but are included in this notice to alert customers who might still be using them.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities.
-
Cisco CallManager 3.0, 3.1, 3.2

Implementations of the Microsoft Internet Information Server are vulnerable to buffer overflows and denial of service attacks. These vulnerabilities can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a computer system or to disrupt normal operation of the server.
The vulnerabilities have been described in more detail at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS02-018.mspx
