Yealink devices are not vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug

This advisory applies to all Yealink products using OpenSSL from version 1.0.1 to 1.01f. Notice supplied by Yealink UK on Weds 23rd June.

Heartbleed is a security bug in the open-source OpenSSL cryptography library, widely used to implement the Internet’s Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. This vulnerability results from a missing bounds check in the handling of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) heartbeat extension.

Through the vulnerability in OpenSSL versions from 1.0.1 to 1.0.1f, an attacker can capture memory from the host 64k at a time. The attacker can therefore possibly capture desired data such as the server’s private key, or a user’s password. This exploit is consistent with CVE: 2014-0160.

We have carefully inspected all versions of our products, and are pleased to announce that Yealink products are not affected by the Heartbleed OpenSSL vulnerability. We will update users if there are any changes in the future.

T19PN vs T21PN

We’ve recently had a few enquiries from resellers about the differences between the Yealink T19PN and the T21PN handsets.

gigaset pro logogigaset pro logo

The mains differences are as follows:
*The T19PN has one SIP account. The T21PN has two (it also has easy to use line keys on the side of the display).
*The T21PN has superior HD audio components, the T19PN doesn’t.
*The T21PN has LDAP directory support, the T19PN doesn’t.

Apart from that, and the colour of the LCD support, everything else is the same.
