CVE Name
Description Upon receiving a new SIP Invite, Asterisk did not
return the created dialog locked or referenced. This
caused a ���gap��� between the creation of the dialog
object, and its next use by the thread that created
it. Depending upon some off nominal circumstances, and
timing it was possible for another thread to free said
dialog in this ���gap���. Asterisk could then crash when
the dialog object, or any of its dependent objects
were de-referenced, or accessed next by the initial
creation thread.
Note, however that this crash can only occur when
using a connection oriented protocol (e.g. TCP, TLS)
for the SIP transport. If you are using UDP then your
system should not be affected.
As well, the remote client must be authenticated, or
Asterisk must be configured for anonymous calling in
order for this problem to manifest.
Modules Affected res_pjsip.c, res_pjsip_session.c, res_pjsip_pubsub.c
Resolution Asterisk now returns the newly created dialog object both
locked, and with its reference count increased. The lock,
and added reference are then held until such a time it is
safe to release both the lock, and decrement the reference
count.
