CVE Name CVE-2012-2947
Description A remotely exploitable crash vulnerability exists in the
IAX2 channel driver if an established call is placed on
hold without a suggested music class. For this to occur,
the following must take place:
1. The setting mohinterpret=passthrough must be set on the
end placing the call on hold.
2. A call must be established.
3. The call is placed on hold without a suggested
music-on-hold class name.
When these conditions are true, Asterisk will attempt to
use an invalid pointer to a music-on-hold class name. Use
of the invalid pointer will either cause a crash or the
music-on-hold class name will be garbage.
Resolution Asterisk now sets the extra data parameter to null if the
received control frame does not have any extra data.
