CVE Name
Description A remotely exploitable crash vulnerability exists in the
SIP channel driver if a SIP UPDATE request is processed
within a particular window of time. For this to occur, the
following must take place:
1. The setting 'trustrpid' must be set to True
2. An UPDATE request must be received after a call has been
terminated and the associated channel object has been
destroyed, but before the SIP dialog associated with the
call has been destroyed. Receiving the UPDATE request
before the call is terminated or after the SIP dialog
associated with the call will not cause the crash
vulnerability described here.
3. The UPDATE request must be formatted with the
appropriate headers to reflect an Asterisk connected line
update. The information in the headers must reflect a
different Caller ID then what was previously associated
with the dialog.
When these conditions are true, Asterisk will attempt to
perform a connected line update with no associated channel,
and will crash.
Resolution Asterisk now ensures a channel exists before performing a
connected line update, when that connected line update is
initiated via a SIP UPDATE request.
In Asterisk versions not containing the fix for this issue,
setting the 'trustrpid' setting to False will prevent this
crash from occurring (default is False)
