Severity: CRITICAL

Description:

Cisco Video Surveillance products are used to record and manage video feeds as well as send the feeds over IP networks.

Multiple Cisco Video Surveillance products are prone to the following vulnerabilities:

Attackers can exploit these issues to gain administrative access to affected devices.

These issues affect the following firmware versions (and earlier):

Cisco Video Surveillance IP Gateway Encoder/Decoder (Standalone and Module) 1.8.1
Cisco Video Surveillance SP/ISP Decoder Software 1.11.0
Cisco Video Surveillance SP/ISP 1.23.7
