Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU6618

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: N/A

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient bounds checking. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) packet, trigger memory corruption and cause the affected device to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

Mitigation

Update Asterisk to version 13.15.1 and 14.4.1.
Update Certified Asterisk to version 13.13-cert.

Vulnerable software versions

Asterisk Open Source: 13.0.1 - 14.4.0

Certified Asterisk: 13.13

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU6619

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: N/A

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient allocation of a buffer size by the PJSIP RFC 2543 transaction key generation algorithm. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) packet containing a long CSeq header value along with a Via header with no branch parameter, trigger memory corruption and cause the affected device to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

Mitigation

Update Asterisk to version 13.15.1 and 14.4.1.
Update Certified Asterisk to version 13.13-cert.

Vulnerable software versions

Asterisk Open Source: 13.0.1 - 14.4.0

Certified Asterisk: 13.13

3) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU6620

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: N/A

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper memory read. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet containing a long CSeq header value along with a Via header with no branch parameter, trigger an out-of-bounds memory read and cause the affected system to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

Mitigation

Update Asterisk to version 13.15.1 and 14.4.1.
Update Certified Asterisk to version 13.13-cert.

Vulnerable software versions

Asterisk Open Source: 13.0.1 - 14.4.0

Certified Asterisk: 13.13
