Cisco VoIP bug

A bug involving 7900 Series IP phones from Cisco creates a means for hackers to eavesdrop on calls. The flaw stems from security shortcomings in the Extension Mobility feature of the phones, which allows users to configure a Cisco IP phone as their own. The feature is disabled by support, which is just as well because when enabled the feature fails to encrypt signalling communications between a device and an internal web server. This, in turn, creates a means for miscreants to sniff out authentication credentials. These credentials might subsequently be misused to cut off users or eavesdrop on streaming media connections associated with calls.
