Asterisk SIP Channel T.38 SDP Parsing Multiple Buffer Overflows

high Nessus Plugin ID 25671

Language:

Synopsis

A telephony application running on the remote host is affected by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Asterisk running on the remote host contains two stack-based buffer overflows in its SIP SDP handler when attempting to read the 'T38FaxRateManagement:' and 'T38FaxUdpEC:' options in the SDP within a SIP packet. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this flaw to execute code on the affected host subject to the privileges under which Asterisk runs.

Solution

Either disable T.38 support or upgrade to Asterisk 1.4.3 / AsteriskNow Beta 6 or later.
