Synopsis

A telephony application running on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its SIP banner, the version of Asterisk running on the remote host is 11.x prior to 11.25.3, 13.x prior to 13.17.2, 14.x prior to 14.6.2, 11.6 prior to 11.6-cert18, or 13.13 prior to 13.13-cert6. It is therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to insufficient RTCP packet validation. A remote attacker could potentially read buffer contents and redirect where the next RTCP report goes.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Asterisk version 11.25.3 / 13.17.2 / 14.6.2 / 11.6-cert18 / 13.13-cert6 or later.
