CVE-2020-3110: Cisco Video Surveillance 8000 Series IP Cameras Cisco Discovery Protocol Remote Code Execution and Denial of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Cisco Discovery Protocol implementation for the Cisco Video Surveillance 8000 Series IP Cameras could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to execute code remotely or cause a reload of an affected IP Camera. The vulnerability is due to missing checks when processing Cisco Discovery Protocol messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol packet to the targeted IP Camera. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to expose the affected IP Camera for remote code execution or cause it to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. Cisco Discovery Protocol is a Layer 2 protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be in the same broadcast domain as the affected device (Layer 2 adjacent). This vulnerability is fixed in Video Surveillance 8000 Series IP Camera Firmware Release 1.0.7 and later.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco security cameras in the 8000 Series could be crashed or potentially taken over by someone on the same local network segment. This is not an internet-wide bug by itself, but it is serious where camera networks share a broadcast domain with untrusted devices. Exposure is likely limited to Cisco Video Surveillance 8000 Series IP Cameras running firmware before 1.0.7 where an attacker can reach the same Layer 2 broadcast domain. Affected versions are not further specified in the bundle. Prioritize remediation where cameras protect sensitive areas, support investigations, or sit on mixed-access networks. The business risk is loss of camera availability and possible device compromise, but exploitability depends on local network access. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected cameras to firmware 1.0.7 or later.; Review Cisco advisory for device-specific upgrade guidance.; Keep camera networks separated from user and guest networks..
