Asterisk: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200610-15 (Asterisk: Multiple vulnerabilities) Asterisk contains buffer overflows in channels/chan_mgcp.c from the MGCP driver and in channels/chan_skinny.c from the Skinny channel driver for Cisco SCCP phones. It also dangerously handles client-controlled variables to acertain filenames in the Record() function. Finally, the SIP channel driver in channels/chan_sip.c could use more resources than necessary under unspecified circumstances. Impact A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted audit endpoint (AUEP) response, by sending an overly large Skinny packet even before authentication, or by making use of format strings specifiers through the client-controlled variables. A possible hacker could also cause a Denial of Service by resource consumption through the SIP channel driver. Workaround There is no known workaround for the format strings vulnerability at this time. You can comment the lines in /etc/asterisk/mgcp.conf, /etc/asterisk/skinny.conf and /etc/asterisk/sip.conf to deactivate the three vulnerable channel drivers. Please note that the MGCP channel driver is disabled by default.
