Cisco Webex Room Phone and Cisco Webex Share Link Layer Discovery Protocol
Memory Leak Vulnerability
Priority: Medium
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-lldp-memlk-McOecPT
First Published: 2023 January 11 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCwb22136 CSCwb25580
CVE Names: CVE-2023-20047
Summary
o A vulnerability in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) feature of
Cisco Webex Room Phone and Cisco Webex Share devices could allow an
unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS)
condition on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient resource allocation. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted LLDP traffic to an
affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust
the memory resources of the affected device, resulting in a crash of the
LLDP process. If the affected device is configured to support LLDP only,
this could cause an interruption to inbound and outbound calling. By
default, these devices are configured to support both Cisco Discovery
Protocol and LLDP. To recover operational state, the affected device needs
a manual restart.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:

Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected the following Cisco
products if they were running a vulnerable release of firmware and had the
LLDP feature enabled. The LLDP feature is enabled by default.
Webex Room Phone
Webex Share
For information about which Cisco software releases were vulnerable at the
time of publication, see the Fixed Software section of this advisory. See
the Details section in the bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory for the
most complete and current information.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
are known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. However, there is
a mitigation that addresses this vulnerability for deployments that support
both Cisco Discovery Protocol and LLDP for neighbor discovery.
Administrators may disable LLDP on affected devices. Devices will then use
Cisco Discovery Protocol for discovery of configuration data such as voice
VLAN, power negotiation, and so on. This is not a trivial change and will
require diligence on behalf of the enterprise to evaluate any potential
impact to devices as well as the best approach to deploy this change in
their enterprise.
While this mitigation has been deployed and was proven successful in a test
environment, customers should determine the applicability and effectiveness
in their own environment and under their own use conditions. Customers
should be aware that any workaround or mitigation that is implemented may
negatively impact the functionality or performance of their network based
on intrinsic customer deployment scenarios and limitations. Customers
should not deploy any workarounds or mitigations before first evaluating
the applicability to their own environment and any impact to such
environment.
Fixed Software
o When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
Cisco Security Advisories page , to determine exposure and a complete
upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
providers.
