[GLSA-200610-15] Asterisk: Multiple vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
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.
