Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: Asterisk: SIP Denial of Service (GLSA 200703-14)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: March 16, 2007
Bug(s): #169616
ID: 200703-14
Synopsis
Asterisk is vulnerable to Denial of Service in the SIP channel.
Background
Asterisk is an open source implementation of a telephone private branch exchange (PBX).
Affected Packages
Package: net-misc/asterisk
Vulnerable: < 1.2.14-r1
Unaffected: >= 1.2.14-r1
Unaffected: >= 1.0.12-r1 < 1.0.13
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
The MU Security Research Team discovered that Asterisk contains a NULL-pointer dereferencing error in the SIP channel when handling request messages.
Impact
A remote attacker could cause an Asterisk server listening for SIP messages to crash by sending a specially crafted SIP request message.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-misc/asterisk | Note: Asterisk 1.0.x is no longer supported upstream so users should consider upgrading to Asterisk 1.2.x.
