Description

The login component of the Polycom Command Shell on Polycom HDX
video endpoints, running software versions 3.0.5 and earlier,
is vulnerable to an authorization bypass when simultaneous
connections are made to the service, allowing remote network
attackers to gain access to a sandboxed telnet prompt without
authentication. Versions prior to 3.0.4 contain OS command
injection in the ping command which can be used to execute
arbitrary commands as root.
