CVE Name CVE-2019-15639
Description When audio frames are given to the audio transcoding
support in Asterisk the number of samples are examined
and as part of this a message is output to indicate
that no samples are present. A change was done to
suppress this message for a particular scenario in
which the message was not relevant. This change
assumed that information about the origin of a frame
will always exist when in reality it may not.
This issue presented itself when an RTP packet
containing no audio (and thus no samples) was
received. In a particular transcoding scenario this
audio frame would get turned into a frame with no
origin information. If this new frame was then given
to the audio transcoding support a crash would occur
as no samples and no origin information would be
present. The transcoding scenario requires the
���genericplc��� option to be set to enabled (the default)
and a transcoding path from the source format into
signed linear and then from signed linear into another
format.
Note that there may be other scenarios that have not
been found which can cause an audio frame with no
origin to be given to the audio transcoding support
and thus cause a crash.
Modules Affected main/translate.c
Resolution The ���genericplc��� option can be disabled in codecs.conf to
mitigate the described scenario. It is recommended, however,
that Asterisk be upgraded to one of the listed versions or
the linked patch applied to protect against potential
unknown scenarios.
