> |Description|Two closely related stack based buffer overflows exist in the SIP/SDP |
> | |handler of Asterisk, the vulnerabilities are very similar but exist as |
> | |two separate unsafe function calls. The T38FaxRateManagement and |
> | |T38FaxUdpEC SDP parameters can be exploited remotely leading to |
> | |arbitrary code execution without authentication. In order for these |
> | |overflows to occur, t38 fax over SIP must be enabled in sip.conf. |
> | |Examples of SIP INVITE packets are shown below, however these |
> | |vulnerabilities can be triggered with a number of different SIP messages|
> | |affecting calls received by Asterisk, or in response to calls made by |
> | |Asterisk. |
> | | |
> | |Remote Unauthenticated stack overflow in Asterisk SIP/SDP |
> | |T38FaxRateManagement parameter |
> | | |
> | |A remote unauthenticated stack overflow exists in the SIP/SDP handler of|
> | |Asterisk. By sending a SIP packet with SDP data which includes an overly|
> | |long T38 parameter it is possible to overflow a stack based buffer and |
> | |execute arbitrary code. |
> | | |
> | |The process_sdp function of chan_sip.c in Asterisk contains the |
> | |following vulnerable call to sscanf. |
> | | |
> | |else if ((sscanf(a, "T38FaxRateManagement:%s", s) == 1)) { |
> | | |
> | |found = 1; |
> | | |

> | | |
> | |ast_log(LOG_DEBUG, "RateMangement: %s\n", s); |

> | Resolution | T.38 support in the affected versions of Asterisk is not |
> | | enabled by default, therefore the severity of this issue |
> | | is 'moderate'. |
> | | |
> | | Users who are using the default configuration with |
> | | 't38_udptl' set to 'no' or an equivalent value are not |
> | | susceptible to this vulnerability. Users who have set |
> | | this configuration item to 'yes' or an equivalent value |
> | | but are not actually using T.38 support can set it to |
> | | 'no' to secure their systems against this vulnerability. |
> | | |
> | | All other users are urged to upgrade to the appropriate |
> | | version of their Asterisk product listed in the |
> | | 'Corrected In' section below. |
