Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2011-002
Product       Asterisk
Summary       Multiple array overflow and crash vulnerabilities in
UDPTL code
Nature of Advisory Exploitable Stack and Heap Array Overflows
Susceptibility   Remote Unauthenticated Sessions
Severity      Critical
Exploits Known   No
Reported On     January 27, 2011
Reported By     Matthew Nicholson
Posted On      February 21, 2011
Last Updated On   February 21, 2011
Advisory Contact  Matthew Nicholson <mnicholson at digium.com>
CVE Name
Description When decoding UDPTL packets, multiple stack and heap based
arrays can be made to overflow by specially crafted packets.
Systems doing T.38 pass through or termination are vulnerable.
Resolution The UDPTL decoding routines have been modified to respect the
limits of exploitable arrays.
In asterisk versions not containing the fix for this issue,
disabling T.38 support will prevent this vulnerability from
being exploited. T.38 support can be disabled in chan_sip by
setting the t38pt_udptl option to "no" (it is off by default).
t38pt_udptl = no
The chan_ooh323 module should also be disabled by adding the
following line in modles.conf.
noload => chan_ooh323

-       (Closes issue #17404. Reported, tested by sdolloff. Patched by jpeeler)
-     * Only do magic pickup when notifycid is enabled.
-       A new way of doing BLF pickup was introduced into 1.6.2. This feature adds a
-       call-id value into the XML of a SIP_NOTIFY message sent to alert a subscriber
-       that a device is ringing. This option should only be enabled when the new
-       'notifycid' option is set, but this was not the case. Instead the call-id
-       value was included for every RINGING Notify message, which caused a
-       regression for people who used other methods for call pickup.
-       (Closes issue #17633. Reported, patched by urosh. Patched by dvossel.
-       Tested by: dvossel, urosh, okrief, alecdavis)
