AST-2011-001: Stack buffer overflow in SIP channel driver

Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2011-001

Summary Stack buffer overflow in SIP channel driver
Nature of Advisory Exploitable Stack Buffer Overflow
Susceptibility Remote Authenticated Sessions
Severity Moderate
Exploits Known No

CVE Name CVE-2011-0495
Description When forming an outgoing SIP request while in pedantic mode, a stack buffer can be made to overflow if supplied with carefully crafted caller ID information. This vulnerability also affects the URIENCODE dialplan function and in some versions of asterisk, the AGI dialplan application as well. The ast_uri_encode function does not properly respect the size of its output buffer and can write past the end of it when encoding URIs.

Asterisk 1.6.0.22, Asterisk 1.6.1.14, Asterisk 1.6.2.2 Released

Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform

Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform

The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Asterisk as the following versions:

These releases are available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/

The releases of Asterisk 1.6.0.22, 1.6.1.14, and 1.6.2.2 include the fix described in security advisory AST-2010-001.

The issue is that an attacker attempting to negotiate T.38 over SIP can remotely crash Asterisk by modifying the FaxMaxDatagram field of the SDP to contain either a negative or exceptionally large value. The same crash will occur when the FaxMaxDatagram field is omitted from the SDP, as well.

For more information about the details of this vulnerability, please read the security advisory AST-2010-001, which was released at the same time as this announcement.

For a full list of changes in the current releases, please see the ChangeLog:

Security advisory AST-2010-001 is available at:
http://asterisk.net.ru/en/2010/02/03/asterisk-security-advisory-ast-2010-001-t-38-remote-crash-vulnerability/

Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!

Asterisk Security Advisory – AST-2009-005: Remote Crash Vulnerability in SIP channel driver

Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform

Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform

On certain implementations of libc, the scanf family of functions uses an unbounded amount of stack memory to repeatedly allocate string buffers prior to conversion to the target type. Coupled with Asterisk‘s allocation of thread stack sizes that are smaller than the default, an attacker may exhaust stack memory in the SIP stack network thread by presenting excessively long numeric strings in various fields.
Note that while this potential vulnerability has existed in Asterisk for a very long time, it is only potentially exploitable in 1.6.1 and above, since those versions are the first that have allowed SIP packets to exceed 1500 bytes total, which does not permit strings that are large enough to crash Asterisk. (The number strings presented to us by the security researcher were approximately 32,000 bytes long.)

Additionally note that while this can crash Asterisk, execution of arbitrary code is not possible with this vector.

Upgrade Asterisk to one of the releases listed below.

Asterisk 1.2.34, Asterisk 1.4.26.1, Asterisk 1.6.0.13, and Asterisk 1.6.1.4 released

Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform

Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform

The Asterisk Development Team is pleased to announce the releases of 1.2.34, 1.4.26.1, 1.6.0.13, and 1.6.1.4. These releases are available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/

The release of 1.6.1.4 fixes a remote crash security vulnerability in the SIP stack. Although this crash was not demonstrated in any other version, the details of the vulnerability suggested the possibility that related attacks might be possible in the future. We therefore opted to release new versions of all current releases with these fixes applied. For more information about the details of this vulnerability, please read the security advisory AST-2009-005, which was released at the same time as this announcement.

In addition, Asterisk users may notice that we skipped the version numbers 1.6.0.11 and 1.6.1.3. This was intentional, in an effort to avoid confusion about what a particular release contains. Both of those version numbers had candidates for releases made, so backtracking on those changes in a release with the same version number might be confusing. Those release candidates will be reissued with additional bugfixes, as 1.6.0.14-rc1 and 1.6.1.5-rc1, respectively.

For a full list of changes in the current releases, please see the ChangeLogs:
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/ChangeLog-1.2.34
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/ChangeLog-1.4.26.1
