What is CVE-2021-1563?
CVE-2021-1563 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Cisco Video Surveillance 7000 Series IP Cameras, published on 4 Jun 2021. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Multiple vulnerabilities in the implementation of the Cisco Discovery Protocol and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for Cisco Video Surveillance 7000 Series IP Cameras could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a memory leak, which could lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to incorrect processing of certain Cisco Discovery Protocol and LLDP packets at ingress time. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending crafted Cisco Discovery Protocol or LLDP packets to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to continuously consume memory, which could cause the device to crash and reload, resulting in a DoS condition. Note: Cisco Discovery Protocol and LLDP are Layer 2 protocols. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker must be in the same broadcast domain as the affected device (Layer 2 adjacent).
Which versions are affected by CVE-2021-1563?
It affects 2 products.
Products include Cisco Video Surveillance 7070 Firmware, Cisco Video Surveillance 7530pd Firmware.
How do I fix CVE-2021-1563?
No fix has been published for CVE-2021-1563 yet. Limit exposure of the affected software until one is available.
Upgrade, then put limits on request size, rate and nesting depth so one client cannot exhaust the service. More about Denial of service.
Is CVE-2021-1563 being exploited?
There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-1563 in the wild and no public exploit code.
