CVE Name CVE-2012-5977
Description Asterisk maintains an internal cache for devices. The
device state cache holds the state of each device known to
Asterisk, such that consumers of device state information
can query for the last known state for a particular device,
even if it is not part of an active call. The concept of a
device in Asterisk can include things that do not have a
physical representation. One way that this currently occurs
is when anonymous calls are allowed in Asterisk. A device
is automatically created and stored in the cache for each
anonymous call that occurs; this is possible in the SIP and
IAX2 channel drivers and through channel drivers that
utilize the res_jabber/res_xmpp resource modules (Gtalk,
Jingle, and Motif). Attackers exploiting this vulnerability
can attack an Asterisk system configured to allow anonymous
calls by varying the source of the anonymous call,
continually adding devices to the device state cache and
consuming a system's resources.
Resolution Channels that are not associated with a physical device are
no longer stored in the device state cache. This affects
Local, DAHDI, SIP and IAX2 channels, and any channel drivers
built on the res_jabber/res_xmpp resource modules (Gtalk,
Jingle, and Motif).
