Multiple Unauthenticated Stack Overflows in Asterisk Chan_sip.c (STP)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
Two closely related stack based buffer overflows exist in the SIP/SDP
handler of Asterisk, the vulnerabilities are very similar but exist as two
separate unsafe function calls. The T38FaxRateManagement and T38FaxUdpEC
SDP parameters can be exploited remotely leading to arbitrary code
execution without authentication. In order for these overflows to occur,
t38 fax over SIP must be enabled in sip.conf.
Examples of SIP INVITE packets are shown in the details section, however
these vulnerabilities can be triggered with a number of different SIP
messages affecting calls received by Asterisk, or in response to calls
made by Asterisk.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Asterisk versions prior to 1.4.3
* AsteriskNOW versions prior to Beta6
* Asterisk Appliance Developers Kits versions prior to 0.4.0
Remote Unauthenticated stack overflow in Asterisk SIP/SDP
T38FaxRateManagement parameter
A remote unauthenticated stack overflow exists in the SIP/SDP handler of
Asterisk. By sending a SIP packet with SDP data which includes an overly
long T38 parameter it is possible to overflow a stack based buffer and
execute arbitrary code.
The process_sdp function of chan_sip.c in Asterisk contains the following
vulnerable call to sscanf.
else if ((sscanf(a, "T38FaxRateManagement:%s", s) == 1)) {
found = 1;
if (option_debug > 2)
ast_log(LOG_DEBUG, "RateMangement: %s\n", s);
if (!strcasecmp(s, "localTCF"))
peert38capability |=
T38FAX_RATE_MANAGEMENT_LOCAL_TCF;
else if (!strcasecmp(s, "transferredTCF"))
peert38capability |=
T38FAX_RATE_MANAGEMENT_TRANSFERED_TCF;
This attempts to read the "T38FaxRateManagement:" option from the SDP
within a SIP packet and copy the succeeding string into "s". There are no
checks on the length of this string and we can therefore write past the
boundaries of the "s" variable overwriting adjacent memory on the stack.
"s" is defined earlier in this function as being a character array of only
256 bytes.
The following example packet demonstrates an overflow of this parameter:

Remote Unauthenticated stack overflow in Asterisk SIP/SDP T38FaxUdpEC
parameter
A remote unauthenticated stack overflow exists in the SIP/SDP handler of
Asterisk. By sending a SIP packet with SDP data which includes an overly
long T38FaxUdpEC parameter it is possible to overflow a stack based buffer
and execute arbitrary code.
The process_sdp function of chan_sip.c in Asterisk contains the following
vulnerable call to sscanf.
else if ((sscanf(a, "T38FaxUdpEC:%s", s) == 1)) {
found = 1;
if (option_debug > 2)
ast_log(LOG_DEBUG, "UDP EC: %s\n",
s);
if (!strcasecmp(s, "t38UDPRedundancy")) {
peert38capability |=
T38FAX_UDP_EC_REDUNDANCY;
ast_udptl_set_error_correction_scheme(p->udptl,
UDPTL_ERROR_CORRECTION_REDUNDANCY);
This attempts to read the "T38FaxUdpEC:" option from the SDP within a SIP
packet and copy the succeeding string into "s". There are no checks on the
length of this string and we can therefore write past the boundaries of
the "s" variable overwriting adjacent memory on the stack. "s" is defined
earlier in this function as being a character array of only 256 bytes.
