Major vulnerabilities in Cisco VoIP phones
http://t.co/ntF86rH2 (Science Daily)
"Cisco has since released a patch to repair these vulnerabilities
but it is ineffective. "It doesn't solve the fundamental problems
we've pointed out to Cisco," Cui observes. "We don't know of any
solution to solve the systemic problem with Cisco's IP Phone
firmware except for the Symbiote technology or rewriting the
firmware. We plan to demonstrate a Symbiote-protected Cisco IP
Phone at an upcoming conference." The research conducted by
Stolfo and Cui was funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency), IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects
Activity), and DHS (Department of Homeland Security)."
