Synopsis
========
Asterisk is vulnerable to Denial of Service in the SIP channel.
Background
==========
Asterisk is an open source implementation of a telephone private branch
exchange (PBX).
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/asterisk < 1.2.14-r1 >= 1.2.14-r1
*>= 1.0.12-r1
Description
===========
The MU Security Research Team discovered that Asterisk contains a
NULL-pointer dereferencing error in the SIP channel when handling
request messages.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could cause an Asterisk server listening for SIP
messages to crash by sending a specially crafted SIP request message.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-misc/asterisk
Note: Asterisk 1.0.x is no longer supported upstream so users should
consider upgrading to Asterisk 1.2.x.
