CVE-2009-5039: Memory leak in the gk_circuit_info_do_in_acf function in the H.323 implementation in Cisco IOS before 15.0(...

Memory leak in the gk_circuit_info_do_in_acf function in the H.323 implementation in Cisco IOS before 15.0(1)XA allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of calls over a long duration, as demonstrated by InterZone Clear Token (IZCT) test traffic, aka Bug ID CSCsz72535.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-5039 is a Cisco IOS H.323 memory leak that can degrade or stop voice routing services by consuming device memory. The described trigger is many calls over a long period, so urgency depends on whether exposed Cisco IOS voice or gatekeeper functions are still in use. Likely exposure is limited to Cisco IOS deployments running affected H.323 functionality before 15.0(1)XA. The provided data does not list specific hardware platforms, CPEs, or enabled configurations, so asset validation is required. Treat as a targeted reliability risk for legacy Cisco voice infrastructure, not a broad enterprise emergency. Prioritize remediation where H.323 services are internet-exposed, partner-facing, or business-critical. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco IOS devices providing H.323 or gatekeeper services.; Compare running versions against Cisco IOS 15.0(1)XA release guidance.; Plan upgrade to a vendor-supported fixed IOS release where applicable..
