Vulnerabilities (CVE)

In the pjsip channel driver (res_pjsip) in Asterisk 13.x before 13.17.1 and 14.x before 14.6.1, a carefully crafted tel URI in a From, To, or Contact header could cause Asterisk to crash.

An issue was discovered in Asterisk Open Source 13 before 13.18.1, 14 before 14.7.1, and 15 before 15.1.1 and Certified Asterisk 13.13 before 13.13-cert7. A memory leak occurs when an Asterisk pjsip session object is created and that call gets rejected before the session itself is fully established. When this happens the session object never gets destroyed. Eventually Asterisk can run out of memory and crash.

An Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command issue was discovered in Digium Asterisk GUI 2.1.0 and prior. An OS command injection vulnerability has been identified that may allow the execution of arbitrary code on the system through the inclusion of OS commands in the URL request of the program.

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 chan_sip, the CDR dialplan function, and the AMI Monitor action.

An issue was discovered in Asterisk 13.18.4 and older, 14.7.4 and older, 15.1.4 and older, and 13.18-cert1 and older. A select set of SIP messages create a dialog in Asterisk. Those SIP messages must contain a contact header. For those messages, if the header was not present and the PJSIP channel driver was used, Asterisk would crash.

chain_sip in Asterisk Open Source 11.x before 11.23.1 and 13.x 13.11.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.6 before 11.6-cert15 and 13.8 before 13.8-cert3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (port exhaustion).

An issue was discovered in chan_skinny.c in Asterisk Open Source 13.18.2 and older, 14.7.2 and older, and 15.1.2 and older, and Certified Asterisk 13.13-cert7 and older. If the chan_skinny (aka SCCP protocol) channel driver is flooded with certain requests, it can cause the asterisk process to use excessive amounts of virtual memory, eventually causing asterisk to stop processing requests of any kind.

In res/res_rtp_asterisk.c in Asterisk 11.x before 11.25.2, 13.x before 13.17.1, and 14.x before 14.6.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.x before 11.6-cert17 and 13.x before 13.13-cert5, unauthorized data disclosure (media takeover in the RTP stack) is possible with careful timing by an attacker. The "strictrtp" option in rtp.conf enables a feature of the RTP stack that learns the source address of media for a session and drops any packets that do not originate from the expected address. This option is ... In res/res_rtp_asterisk.c in Asterisk 11.x before 11.25.2, 13.x before 13.17.1, and 14.x before 14.6.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.x before 11.6-cert17 and 13.x before 13.13-cert5, unauthorized data disclosure (media takeover in the RTP stack) is possible with careful timing by an attacker. The "strictrtp" option in rtp.conf enables a feature of the RTP stack that learns the source address of media for a session and drops any packets that do not originate from the expected address. This option is enabled by default in Asterisk 11 and above. The "nat" and "rtp_symmetric" options (for chan_sip and chan_pjsip, respectively) enable symmetric RTP support in the RTP stack. This uses the source address of incoming media as the target address of any sent media. This option is not enabled by default, but is commonly enabled to handle devices behind NAT. A change was made to the strict RTP support in the RTP stack to better tolerate late media when a reinvite occurs. When combined with the symmetric RTP support, this introduced an avenue where media could be hijacked. Instead of only learning a new address when expected, the new code allowed a new source address to be learned at all times. If a flood of RTP traffic was received, the strict RTP support would allow the new address to provide media, and (with symmetric RTP enabled) outgoing traffic would be sent to this new address, allowing the media to be hijacked. Provided the attacker continued to send traffic, they would continue to receive traffic as well.

In Asterisk 11.x before 11.25.2, 13.x before 13.17.1, and 14.x before 14.6.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.x before 11.6-cert17 and 13.x before 13.13-cert5, unauthorized command execution is possible. The app_minivm module has an "externnotify" program configuration option that is executed by the MinivmNotify dialplan application. The application uses the caller-id name and number as part of a built string passed to the OS shell for interpretation and execution. Since the caller-id name and number can come from an untrusted source, a crafted caller-id name or number allows an arbitrary shell command injection.

A Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in Asterisk Open Source 13 before 13.18.1, 14 before 14.7.1, and 15 before 15.1.1 and Certified Asterisk 13.13 before 13.13-cert7. No size checking is done when setting the user field for Party B on a CDR. Thus, it is possible for someone to use an arbitrarily large string and write past the end of the user field storage buffer. NOTE: this is different from CVE-2017-7617, which was only about the Party A buffer.

In Asterisk 11.x before 11.25.3, 13.x before 13.17.2, and 14.x before 14.6.2 and Certified Asterisk 11.x before 11.6-cert18 and 13.x before 13.13-cert6, insufficient RTCP packet validation could allow reading stale buffer contents and when combined with the "nat" and "symmetric_rtp" options allow redirecting where Asterisk sends the next RTCP report.

The multi-part body parser in PJSIP, as used in Asterisk Open Source 13.x before 13.15.1 and 14.x before 14.4.1, Certified Asterisk 13.13 before 13.13-cert4, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet.

PJSIP, as used in Asterisk Open Source 13.x before 13.15.1 and 14.x before 14.4.1, Certified Asterisk 13.13 before 13.13-cert4, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) via a SIP packet with a crafted CSeq header in conjunction with a Via header that lacks a branch parameter.

A Remote Crash issue was discovered in Asterisk Open Source 13.x before 13.18.4, 14.x before 14.7.4, and 15.x before 15.1.4 and Certified Asterisk before 13.13-cert9. Certain compound RTCP packets cause a crash in the RTCP Stack.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in views/add-license-form.php in the Digium Addons module (digiumaddoninstaller) before 2.11.0.7 for FreePBX allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) add_license_key, (2) add_license_first_name, (3) add_license_last_name, (4) add_license_company, (5) add_license_address1, (6) add_license_address2, (7) add_license_city, (8) add_license_state, (9) add_license_post_code, (10) add_license_country, (11) add_license_p ...

Use-after-free vulnerability in the PJSIP channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 12.x before 12.7.1 and 13.x before 13.0.1, when using the res_pjsip_refer module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an in-dialog INVITE with Replaces message, which triggers the channel to be hung up.

channels/chan_sip.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 chan_sip 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.

Race condition in the chan_pjsip channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 12.x before 12.7.1 and 13.x before 13.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and crash) via a cancel request for a SIP session with a queued action to (1) answer a session or (2) send ringing.

The DB dialplan function in Asterisk Open Source 1.8.x before 1.8.32, 11.x before 11.1.4.1, 12.x before 12.7.1, and 13.x before 13.0.1 and Certified Asterisk 1.8 before 1.8.28-cert8 and 11.6 before 11.6-cert8 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via a call from an external protocol, as demonstrated by the AMI protocol.

Asterisk Open Source 1.8.x, 11.x before 11.21.1, 12.x, and 13.x before 13.7.1 and Certified Asterisk 1.8.28, 11.6 before 11.6-cert12, and 13.1 before 13.1-cert3 allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (uninitialized pointer dereference and crash) via a zero length error correcting redundancy packet for a UDPTL FAX packet that is lost.

ConfBridge in Asterisk 11.x before 11.14.1, 12.x before 12.7.1, and 13.x before 13.0.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.6 before 11.6-cert8 allows remote authenticated users to (1) gain privileges via vectors related to an external protocol to the CONFBRIDGE dialplan function or (2) execute arbitrary system commands via a crafted ConfbridgeStartRecord AMI action.

The res_pjsip_acl module in Asterisk Open Source 12.x before 12.7.1 and 13.x before 13.0.1 does not properly create and load ACLs defined in pjsip.conf at startup, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended PJSIP ACL rules.

The PJSIP Channel Driver in Asterisk Open Source before 12.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by terminating a subscription request before it is complete, which triggers a SIP transaction timeout.

An issue was discovered in Asterisk Open Source 11.x before 11.25.1, 13.x before 13.13.1, and 14.x before 14.2.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.x before 11.6-cert16 and 13.x before 13.8-cert4.

An issue was discovered in Asterisk Open Source 11.x before 11.25.1, 13.x before 13.13.1, and 14.x before 14.2.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.x before 11.6-cert16 and 13.x before 13.8-cert4. The chan_sip channel driver has a liberal definition for whitespace when attempting to strip the content between a SIP header name and a colon character. Rather than following RFC 3261 and stripping only spaces and horizontal tabs, Asterisk treats any non-printable ASCII character as if it were whitespace. This means that headers such as Contact\x01: will be seen as a valid Contact header. This mostly does not pose a problem until Asterisk is placed in tandem with an authenticating SIP proxy. In such a case, a crafty combination of valid and invalid To headers can cause a proxy to allow an INVITE request into Asterisk without authentication since it believes the request is an in-dialog request. However, because of the bug described above, the request will look like an out-of-dialog request to Asterisk. Asterisk will then process the request as a new call. The result is that Asterisk can process calls from unvetted sources without any authentication. If you do not use a proxy for authentication, then this issue does not affect you. If your proxy is dialog-aware (meaning that the proxy keeps track of what dialogs are currently valid), then this issue does not affect you. If you use chan_pjsip instead of chan_sip, then this issue does not affect you.

ConfBridge in Asterisk 11.x before 11.14.1 and Certified Asterisk 11.6 before 11.6-cert8 does not properly handle state changes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (channel hang and memory consumption) by causing transitions to be delayed, which triggers a state change from hung up to waiting for media.

res/res_pjsip_exten_state.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.

The PJSIP channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 12.x before 12.1.1, when qualify_frequency "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.

Double free vulnerability in the WebSocket Server (res_http_websocket module) in Asterisk Open Source 11.x before 11.14.2, 12.x before 12.7.2, and 13.x before 13.0.2 and Certified Asterisk 11.6 before 11.6-cert9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending a zero length frame after a non-zero length frame.
