SecurityWeek – (International) Critical vulnerability patched in Cisco
conferencing product. Cisco reported that its Cisco Meeting Server (CMS)
prior to version 2.0.6 and Acano Server prior to versions 1.8.18 and 1.9.6 were
plagued with a critical vulnerability affecting the Extensible Messaging and
Presence Protocol (XMPP) service that could allow an unauthenticated attacker
to access the system as another user if the XMPP is enabled on the affected
devices, as the XMPP service incorrectly processes deprecated authentication
schemes. The flaw was discovered during a routine security audit of a Cisco
customer and there is no evidence the flaw has been exploited in the wild. Source:
