DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in multiple TANDBERG products,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

The security issue is caused due to the devices containing an enabled
root user account with a blank password, which is used for advanced
debugging. This can be exploited to gain administrative access to the
device.

NOTE: The root account cannot be disabled and is not the same as the
admin account.

The security issue is reported in versions prior to TC 4.0.0 in the
following products:
* TANDBERG C Series Endpoints
* TANDBERG E/EX Personal Video

SOLUTION:
Apply update (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by xorcist in an article of the 2600 magazine (volume 27,
#3).
