high Nessus Plugin ID 117651

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The Asterisk project reports :

There is a stack overflow vulnerability in the res_http_websocket.so module of Asterisk that allows an attacker to crash Asterisk via a specially crafted HTTP request to upgrade the connection to a websocket. The attackers request causes Asterisk to run out of stack space and crash.

As a workaround disable HTTP websocket access by not loading the res_http_websocket.so module.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
