Subject: AST-2009-005: Remote Crash Vulnerability in SIP channel driver
Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2009-005
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Product | Asterisk |
|---------------------+--------------------------------------------------|
| Summary | Remote Crash Vulnerability in SIP channel driver |
|---------------------+--------------------------------------------------|
| Nature of Advisory | Denial of Service |

| CVE Name | CVE-2009-2726 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | 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. |
