CVE-2008-0531
Heap-based buffer overflow in Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940, 7940G, 7960, and 7960G running SIP firmware might allow remote SIP servers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted challenge/response message.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.89%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
