Technical details

This is a buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-120) in the USB driver of Cisco RoomOS caused by insufficient boundary checks on data passed through the USB interface. The vulnerability requires an attacker to have physical access to connect a malicious USB device; no authentication or network access is required. A successful exploit allows an unauthenticated local attacker to trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Cisco has released fixed software: RoomOS 11.32.7.0 or later for on-premises deployments, and 11.40.1.1 or later for cloud-aware deployments; version 26 users should upgrade to 26.7.2.2 or 26.7.1.12.
