The remote device is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) running on the remote device is affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) UDP throttling process due to insufficient rate limiting protection. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a high rate of SIP messages, to cause the device to reload unexpectedly.
