Asterisk IAX2 Multiple Method Handshake Spoofing DoS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 32132

Language:

Synopsis

The remote VoIP service can be abused to conduct an amplification attack against third-party hosts.

Description

The version of Asterisk running on the remote host does not properly validate an IAX2 handshake. By spoofing NEW and ACK messages, an unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to flood a third-party host with packets from the affected host containing audio data.

Solution

Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4.20 / 1.2.28, Asterisk Business Edition C.1.8.1 / B.2.5.2, AsteriskNOW 1.0.3, s800i (Asterisk Appliance) 1.1.0.3 or later.
