         CVE Name       

    Description  The "strictrtp" option in rtp.conf enables a feature of the  
                 RTP stack that learns the source address of media for a      
                 session and drops any packets that do not originate from     
                 the expected address. This option is enabled by default in   
                 Asterisk 11 and above.                                       
                                                                              
                 The "nat" and "rtp_symmetric" options for chan_sip and       
                 chan_pjsip respectively enable symmetric RTP support in the  
                 RTP stack. This uses the source address of incoming media    
                 as the target address of any sent media. This option is not  
                 enabled by default but is commonly enabled to handle         
                 devices behind NAT.                                          
                                                                              
                 A change was made to the strict RTP support in the RTP       
                 stack to better tolerate late media when a reinvite occurs.  
                 When combined with the symmetric RTP support this            
                 introduced an avenue where media could be hijacked. Instead  
                 of only learning a new address when expected the new code    
                 allowed a new source address to be learned at all times.     
                                                                              
                 If a flood of RTP traffic was received the strict RTP        
                 support would allow the new address to provide media and     
                 with symmetric RTP enabled outgoing traffic would be sent    
                 to this new address, allowing the media to be hijacked.      
                 Provided the attacker continued to send traffic they would   
                 continue to receive traffic as well.                         

    Resolution  The RTP stack will now only learn a new source address if it  
                has been told to expect the address to change. The RTCP       
                support has now also been updated to drop RTCP reports that   
                are not regarding the RTP session currently in progress. The  
                strict RTP learning progress has also been improved to guard  
                against a flood of RTP packets attempting to take over the    
                media stream.
