A vulnerability in the web portal of the Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Tool could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to create a denial of service (DoS) condition for individual users. The vulnerability is due to weak login controls. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using a brute-force attack (Repeated Bad Login Attempts). A successful exploit could allow the attacker to restrict user access. Manual administrative intervention is required to restore access. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvd07264.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
The product does not require that users should have strong passwords, which makes it easier for attackers to compromise user accounts.
