Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Asterisk is vulnerable to two Denial of Service issues in the SIP |
19 |
channel. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |

25 |
exchange (PBX). |

*>= 1.0.12-r2 |

36 |
Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
The Madynes research team at INRIA has discovered that Asterisk |
40 |
contains a null pointer dereferencing error in the SIP channel when |
41 |
handling INVITE messages. Furthermore qwerty1979 discovered that |
42 |
Asterisk 1.2.x fails to properly handle SIP responses with return code |
43 |
0. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
A remote attacker could cause an Asterisk server listening for SIP |
49 |
messages to crash by sending a specially crafted SIP message or |
50 |
answering with a 0 return code. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-misc/asterisk |
64 |
|
65 |
Note: Asterisk 1.0.x is no longer supported upstream so users should |
66 |
consider upgrading to Asterisk 1.2.x. |
