CVE Name
Description A remote memory exhaustion can be triggered by sending an
SCCP packet to Asterisk system with “chan_skinny” enabled
that is larger than the length of the SCCP header but
smaller than the packet length specified in the header. The
loop that reads the rest of the packet doesn’t detect that
the call to read() returned end-of-file before the expected
number of bytes and continues infinitely. The “partial
data” message logging in that tight loop causes Asterisk to
exhaust all available memory.
Resolution If support for the SCCP protocol is not required, remove or
disable the module.
If support for SCCP is required, an upgrade to Asterisk will
be necessary.
