Secure testing team - May 2012 - Bug#675204: asterisk: AST-2012-007 (CVE-2012-2947): crash on IAX receiving HOLD without MOH class

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.8.11.1~dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream patch security
Justification: user security hole

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.

Issue applies to version in Stable (1.6.2.9) as well.

In the default settings used by the Debian package, on-hold music will be
defined if available (e.g. if any asterisk-moh-opsound package is
installed).
