| Description | Two buffer overflows exist in the RTP payload handling
|
| | code of Asterisk. Both overflows can be caused by an
|
| | INVITE or any other SIP packet with SDP. The request may
|
| | need to be authenticated depending on configuration of
|
| | the Asterisk installation.
|
| |
|
| | The first overflow is caused by sending a payload number
|
| | that surpasses the programmed maximum payload number of
|
| | 256. This causes an invalid memory write outside of the
|
| | buffer. While this does not allow the attacker to write
|
| | arbitrary data it does allow the attacker to write a 0
|
| | to other memory locations.
|
| |
|
| | The second overflow is caused by sending more than 32
|
| | RTP payloads. This causes a buffer on the stack to
|
| | overflow allowing the attacker to write values between 0
|
| | and 256 (the maximum payload number) to memory locations
|
| | after the buffer.
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-+
| Resolution | Two fixes have been added to check the provided data to
|
| | ensure it does not exceed static buffer sizes.
|
| |
|
| | When removing internal information regarding an RTP
|
| | payload the given payload number will now be checked to
|
| | make sure it does not exceed the maximum acceptable
|
| | payload number.
|
| |
|
| | When reading RTP payloads from SDP a maximum limit of 32
|
| | in total will be enforced. Any further RTP payloads will
|
| | be discarded.
