CVE-2013-6685
The firmware on Cisco Unified IP phones 8961, 9951, and 9971 uses weak permissions for memory block devices, which allows local users to gain privileges by mounting a device with a setuid file in its filesystem, aka Bug ID CSCui04382.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
