Nortel IP Phone UNIStim re-register denial of service
| nortel-ipphone-register-dos (37254) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Multiple Nortel IP Phones are vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by improper handling of spoofed registration messages. By sending multiple spoofed registration messages to a server where a vulnerable UNIStim IP Phone is registered, a remote attacker could cause an affected device to become unregistered. The device must be manually re-registered with the server in order to maintain service.

- CVE-2007-5640: The Nortel UNIStim IP Softphone 2050, IP Phone 1140E, and additional Nortel products from the IP Phone, Business Communications Manager (BCM), Mobile Voice Client, and other product lines, allow remote attackers to block calls and force re-registration via a resume message to the Signaling Server that has a spoofed source IP address for the phone. NOTE: the attack is more disruptive if a new spoofed resume message is sent after each re-registration.
