Cisco voice products, when running the IBM Director Agent on IBM servers before OS 2000.2.6, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via arbitrary packets to TCP port 14247, as demonstrated using port scanning.

The default installation of Cisco voice products, when running the IBM Director Agent on IBM servers before OS 2000.2.6, does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to gain administrator privileges by connecting to TCP port 14247.

Multiple TCP implementations with Protection Against Wrapped Sequence Numbers (PAWS) with the timestamps option enabled allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection loss) via a spoofed packet with a large timer value, which causes the host to discard later packets because they appear to be too old.
