Last modified
CVE-2012-5445 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The kernel in Cisco Native Unix (CNU) on Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 series devices (aka TNP phones) with software before 9.3.1-ES10 does not properly validate unspecified system calls, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory overwrite) via a crafted binary.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
