CVE Name CVE-2012-3553
Description AST-2012-008 previously dealt with a denial of service
attack exploitable in the Skinny channel driver that
occurred when certain messages are sent after a previously
registered station sends an Off Hook message. Unresolved in
that patch is an issue in the Asterisk 10 releases,
wherein, if a Station Key Pad Button Message is processed
after an Off Hook message, the channel driver will
inappropriately dereference a Null pointer.
Similar to AST-2012-008, a remote attacker with a valid
SCCP ID can can use this vulnerability by closing a
connection to the Asterisk server when a station is in the
"Off Hook" call state and crash the server.
Resolution The presence of a device for a line is now checked in the
appropriate channel callbacks, preventing the crash.
