         CVE Name       

    Description  No size checking is done when setting the user field for     
                 Party B on a CDR. Thus, it is possible for someone to use    
                 an arbitrarily large string and write past the end of the    
                 user field storage buffer. The earlier AST-2017-001          
                 advisory for the CDR user field overflow was for the Party   
                 A buffer.                                                    
                                                                              
                 This currently affects any system using CDR's that also
                 make use of the following:                                   
                                                                              
                 * The 'X-ClientCode' header within a SIP INFO message
when
                 using chan_sip and                                           
                                                                              
                 the 'useclientcode' option is enabled (note, it's
disabled
                 by default).                                                 
                                                                              
                 * The CDR dialplan function executed from AMI when setting   
                 the user field.                                              
                                                                              
                 * The AMI Monitor action when using a long file name/path.   

    Resolution  The CDR engine now only copies up to the maximum allowed      
                characters into the user field. Any characters outside the    
                maximum are truncated.
