CVE-2015-6313
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 · uneditedCisco TelePresence Server 4.1(2.29) through 4.2(4.17) on 7010; Mobility Services Engine (MSE) 8710; Multiparty Media 310, 320, and 820; and Virtual Machine (VM) devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or device reload) via crafted HTTP requests that are not followed by an unspecified negotiation, aka Bug ID CSCuv47565.
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 · moderate confidenceCisco TelePresence Server versions 4.1(2.29) through 4.2(4.17) on 7010, Mobility Services Engine 8710, Multiparty Media 310/320/820, and Virtual Machine devices contain a denial of service vulnerability. Remote attackers can send crafted HTTP requests that are not followed by an unspecified negotiation, causing memory consumption or device reload.

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 Cisco TelePresence Server installationCheck for Cisco TelePresence Server software on hardware models 7010, Mobility Services Engine 8710, Multiparty Media 310/320/820, or Virtual Machine devices. Use CLI command 'show version' or check the device management interface for product identification.Affected if Device is a Cisco TelePresence Server model 7010, MSE 8710, MP Media 310/320/820, or Virtual Machine
-
Determine installed software versionExecute 'show version' command on the TelePresence Server CLI or check via the web administration interface under the About or System Information section.Affected if Installed version falls between 4.1(2.29) and 4.2(4.17) inclusive
-
Verify HTTP service is enabledCheck device configuration via 'show running-config' or web interface for HTTP/HTTPS service settings. Confirm the HTTP server is listening on port 80 or 443.Affected if HTTP service is enabled and accessible on the network
-
Check for external HTTP accessReview firewall rules, ACLs, and interface configurations to determine if the HTTP management interface is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet.Affected if HTTP interface is reachable from untrusted or external networks
Affected if the device is a Cisco TelePresence Server model 7010, MSE 8710, MP Media 310/320/820, or Virtual Machine running software version 4.1(2.29) through 4.2(4.17) with HTTP service enabled and network accessibility.
