Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 8.5(x) and 8.6(x) before 8.6(2a)su3 and 9.x before 9.1(1) does not properly restrict the rate of SIP packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption, and service disruption) via a flood of UDP packets to port 5060, aka Bug ID CSCub35869.
References: [CVE-2013-3461]

Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of messages by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) module. By sending a specially-crafted Session Description Protocol (SDP) message to UDP and TCP port 5060, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the device to reload.
References: [CVE-2014-0662], [BID-65076], [XFDB-90621]

innovaphone is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper bounds checking by protocol SIP/UDP. By sending a specially-crafted SIP request to the open 5060/UDP port, an remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the VoIP phone to crash and restart.
References: [XFDB-111764]

A vulnerability in the Network Address Translation (NAT) Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Application Layer Gateway (ALG) of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. The vulnerability is due to improper processing of SIP packets in transit while NAT is performed on an affected device. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted SIP packets via UDP port 5060 through an affected device that is performing NAT for SIP packets. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to cause the device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
References: [CVE-2018-0476], [BID-105419]

Polycom VVX 500/601 devices could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the SIP service. By sending a specially-crafted request to TCP port 5060, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain phone configuration information.

SANS ISC: port 5060

Notes:
Port numbers in computer networking represent communication endpoints. Ports are unsigned 16-bit integers (0-65535) that identify a specific process, or network service. IANA is responsible for internet protocol resources, including the registration of commonly used port numbers for well-known internet services.
Well Known Ports: 0 through 1023.
Registered Ports: 1024 through 49151.
Dynamic/Private : 49152 through 65535.

TCP ports use the Transmission Control Protocol, the most commonly used protocol on the Internet and any TCP/IP network. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. Guaranteed communication/delivery is the key difference between TCP and UDP.

UDP ports use the Datagram Protocol. Like TCP, UDP is used in combination with IP (the Internet Protocol) and facilitates the transmission of datagrams from one computer to applications on another computer, but unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the application that received the message to process any errors and verify correct delivery. UDP is often used with time-sensitive applications, such as audio/video streaming and realtime gaming, where dropping some packets is preferable to waiting for delayed data.

When troubleshooting unknown open ports, it is useful to find exactly what services/processes are listening to them. This can be accomplished in both Windows command prompt and Linux variants using the "netstat -aon" command. We also recommend runnig multiple anti-virus/anti-malware scans to rule out the possibility of active malicious software. For more detailed and personalized help please use our forums.
