CVE-2015-0722
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe network drivers in Cisco TelePresence T, Cisco TelePresence TE, and Cisco TelePresence TC before 7.3.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process restart or device reload) via a flood of crafted IP packets, aka Bug ID CSCuj68952.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA vulnerability in the network driver code of Cisco TelePresence T, TE, and TC devices allows remote attackers to send crafted IP packets that cause the device to reload or restart specific processes, resulting in denial of service. The vulnerability is triggered by packet floods with malformed IP headers.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify device modelRun 'show system info' or access the device admin interface to confirm the exact model number is Cisco TelePresence T, TE, or TC seriesAffected if Model is TelePresence T, TE, or TC series (any variant)
-
Check installed software versionRun 'show version' or 'show software' command to retrieve the current firmware/software version installed on the deviceAffected if Version matches any of these: Tc: 3.1.5, 3.1_base, 4.1.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1_base, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 4.2_base; Te: 6.0.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.0_base
-
Verify network interfaces are configuredRun 'show ip interface' or check the device network configuration to confirm IP interfaces are enabledAffected if Device has IP interfaces configured and operational (network stack is active)
-
Check network exposureReview network topology and firewall rules to determine if the device is directly reachable from untrusted networks or the internetAffected if Device is directly accessible from WAN or untrusted networks without intermediate filtering
Device is affected if it is a Cisco TelePresence T, TE, or TC running any of the listed affected versions AND has active IP network interfaces that could receive malformed packets from an attacker.
