A Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in Asterisk through 13.19.1, 14.x through 14.7.5, and 15.x through 15.2.1, and Certified Asterisk through 13.18-cert2. When processing a SUBSCRIBE request, the respjsippubsub module stores the accepted formats present in the Accept headers of the request. This code did not limit the number of headers it processed, despite having a fixed limit of 32. If more than 32 Accept headers were present, the code would write outside of its memory and cause a crash.

An issue was discovered in reshttpwebsocket.c in Asterisk 15.x through 15.2.1. If the HTTP server is enabled (default is disabled), WebSocket payloads of size 0 are mishandled (with a busy loop).

A NULL pointer access issue was discovered in Asterisk 15.x through 15.2.1. The RTP support in Asterisk maintains its own registry of dynamic codecs and desired payload numbers. While an SDP negotiation may result in a codec using a different payload number, these desired ones are still stored internally. When an RTP packet was received, this registry would be consulted if the payload number was not found in the negotiated SDP. This registry was incorrectly consulted for all packets, even those which are dynamic. If the payload number resulted in a codec of a different type than the RTP stream (for example, the payload number resulted in a video codec but the stream carried audio), a crash could occur if no stream of that type had been negotiated. This was due to the code incorrectly assuming that a stream of that type would always exist.

An issue was discovered in Asterisk through 13.19.1, 14.x through 14.7.5, and 15.x through 15.2.1, and Certified Asterisk through 13.18-cert2. respjsip allows remote authenticated users to crash Asterisk (segmentation fault) by sending a number of SIP INVITE messages on a TCP or TLS connection and then suddenly closing the connection.

Remote code execution can occur in Asterisk Open Source 13.x before 13.14.1 and 14.x before 14.3.1 and Certified Asterisk 13.13 before 13.13-cert3 because of a buffer overflow in a CDR user field, related to X-ClientCode in chansip, the CDR dialplan function, and the AMI Monitor action.

The PJSIP channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 12.x before 12.1.1, when qualifyfrequency "is enabled on an AOR and the remote SIP server challenges for authentication of the resulting OPTIONS request," allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a PJSIP endpoint that does not have an associated outgoing request.

res/respjsipextenstate.c in the PJSIP channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 12.x before 12.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a SUBSCRIBE request without any Accept headers, which triggers an invalid pointer dereference.

main/http.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.8.x before 1.8.26.1, 11.8.x before 11.8.1, and 12.1.x before 12.1.1, and Certified Asterisk 1.8.x before 1.8.15-cert5 and 11.6 before 11.6-cert2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTTP request with a large number of Cookie headers.

channels/chansip.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.8.x before 1.8.26.1, 11.8.x before 11.8.1, and 12.1.x before 12.1.1, and Certified Asterisk 1.8.15 before 1.8.15-cert5 and 11.6 before 11.6-cert2, when chansip has a certain configuration, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (channel and file descriptor consumption) via an INVITE request with a (1) Session-Expires or (2) Min-SE header with a malformed or invalid value.

Buffer overflow in the unpacksms16 function in apps/appsms.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.8.x before 1.8.24.1, 10.x before 10.12.4, and 11.x before 11.6.1; Asterisk with Digiumphones 10.x-digiumphones before 10.12.4-digiumphones; and Certified Asterisk 1.8.x before 1.8.15-cert4 and 11.x before 11.2-cert3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a 16-bit SMS message with an odd number of bytes, which triggers an infinite loop.

The SIP channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 1.4.22, 1.4.23, and 1.4.23.1; 1.6.0 before 1.6.0.6; 1.6.1 before 1.6.1.0-rc2; and Asterisk Business Edition C.2.3, with the pedantic option enabled, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a SIP INVITE request without any headers, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the (1) sipuriheaderscmp and (2) sipuriparamscmp functions.

SQL injection vulnerability in the Call Detail Record (CDR) logging functionality for Asterisk allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL via a CallerID string.

Buffer overflow in the getmsgtext of chansip.c in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) protocol implementation for Asterisk releases before August 15, 2003, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain (1) MESSAGE or (2) INFO requests.

The design of the dialplan functionality in Asterisk Open Source 1.2.x, 1.4.x, and 1.6.x; and Asterisk Business Edition B.x.x and C.x.x, when using the ${EXTEN} channel variable and wildcard pattern matches, allows context-dependent attackers to inject strings into the dialplan using metacharacters that are injected when the variable is expanded, as demonstrated using the Dial application to process a crafted SIP INVITE message that adds an unintended outgoing channel leg. NOTE: it could be argued that this is not a vulnerability in Asterisk, but a class of vulnerabilities that can occur in any program that uses this feature without the associated filtering functionality that is already available.

main/acl.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.6.0.x before 1.6.0.25, 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.17, and 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.5 does not properly enforce remote host access controls when CIDR notation "/0" is used in permit= and deny= configuration rules, which causes an improper arithmetic shift and might allow remote attackers to bypass ACL rules and access services from unauthorized hosts.

Unspecified vulnerability in the SIP channel driver (channels/chansip.c) in Asterisk 1.2.x before 1.2.13 and 1.4.x before 1.4.0-beta3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via unspecified vectors that result in the creation of "a real pvt structure" that uses more resources than necessary.

Integer overflow in the getinput function in the Skinny channel driver (chanskinny.c) in Asterisk 1.0.x before 1.0.12 and 1.2.x before 1.2.13, as used by Cisco SCCP phones, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain dlen value that passes a signed integer comparison and leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

An Integer Signedness issue (for a return code) in the respjsipsdprtp module in Digium Asterisk versions 15.7.1 and earlier and 16.1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to crash Asterisk via a specially crafted SDP protocol violation.

Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange and telephony toolkit. In Asterisk prior to versions 18.20.1, 20.5.1, and 21.0.1; as well as certified-asterisk prior to 18.9-cert6; Asterisk is susceptible to a DoS due to a race condition in the hello handshake phase of the DTLS protocol when handling DTLS-SRTP for media setup. This attack can be done continuously, thus denying new DTLS-SRTP encrypted calls during the attack. Abuse of this vulnerability may lead to a massive Denial of Service on vulnerable Asterisk servers for calls that rely on DTLS-SRTP. Commit d7d7764cb07c8a1872804321302ef93bf62cba05 contains a fix, which is part of versions 18.20.1, 20.5.1, 21.0.1, amd 18.9-cert6.

chanskinny.c in the Skinny (aka SCCP) channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 10.x before 10.5.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) by sending a Station Key Pad Button message and closing a connection in off-hook mode, a related issue to CVE-2012-2948.

Buffer overflow in DNS SRV and NAPTR lookups in Digium Asterisk 15.x before 15.6.2 and 16.x before 16.0.1 allows remote attackers to crash Asterisk via a specially crafted DNS SRV or NAPTR response, because a buffer size is supposed to match an expanded length but actually matches a compressed length.

A respjsipsession crash was discovered in Asterisk Open Source 13.x before 13.37.1, 16.x before 16.14.1, 17.x before 17.8.1, and 18.x before 18.0.1. and Certified Asterisk before 16.8-cert5. Upon receiving a new SIP Invite, Asterisk did not return the created dialog locked or referenced. This caused a gap between the creation of the dialog object, and its next use by the thread that created it. Depending on some off-nominal circumstances and timing, it was possible for another thread to free said dialog in this gap. Asterisk could then crash when the dialog object, or any of its dependent objects, were dereferenced or accessed next by the initial-creation thread. Note, however, that this crash can only occur when using a connection-oriented protocol (e.g., TCP or TLS, but not UDP) for SIP transport. Also, the remote client must be authenticated, or Asterisk must be configured for anonymous calling.

Directory traversal vulnerability in vmail.cgi in Asterisk 1.0.9 through 1.2.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to access WAV files via a .. (dot dot) in the folder parameter.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the function that parses commands in Asterisk 1.0.7, when the 'write = command' option is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a command that has two double quotes followed by a tab character.

Stack-based buffer overflow in channels/chanmgcp.c in MGCP in Asterisk 1.0 through 1.2.10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted audit endpoint (AUEP) response.

Asterisk 1.2.10 supports the use of client-controlled variables to determine filenames in the Record function, which allows remote attackers to (1) execute code via format string specifiers or (2) overwrite files via directory traversals involving unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by the CALLERIDNAME variable.

The IAX2 channel driver (chaniax2) for Asterisk 1.2.x before 1.2.9 and 1.0.x before 1.0.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via truncated IAX 2 (IAX2) video frames, which bypasses a length check and leads to a buffer overflow involving negative length check. NOTE: the vendor advisory claims that only a DoS is possible, but the original researcher is reliable.

Integer signedness error in formatjpeg.c in Asterisk 1.2.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a length value that passes a length check as a negative number, but triggers a buffer overflow when it is used as an unsigned length.

SQL injection vulnerability in the Postgres Realtime Engine (resconfigpgsql) in Asterisk 1.4.x before 1.4.15 and C.x before C.1.0-beta6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unknown vectors.

SQL injection vulnerability in the Call Detail Record Postgres logging engine (cdrpgsql) in Asterisk 1.4.x before 1.4.15, 1.2.x before 1.2.25, B.x before B.2.3.4, and C.x before C.1.0-beta6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) ANI and (2) DNIS arguments.
