[asterisk-announce] AST-2011-011: Possible enumeration of SIP users due to differing authentication responses
Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2011-011
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Product | Asterisk |
|--------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| Summary | Possible enumeration of SIP users due to |
| | differing authentication responses |
|--------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| Nature of Advisory | Unauthorized data disclosure |

| CVE Name | CVE-2011-2536 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | Asterisk may respond differently to SIP requests from an |
| | invalid SIP user than it does to a user configured on |
| | the system, even when the alwaysauthreject option is set |
| | in the configuration. This can leak information about |
| | what SIP users are valid on the Asterisk system. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | Respond to SIP requests from invalid and valid SIP users |
| | in the same way. Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6.2 do not respond |
| | identically by default due to backward-compatibility |
| | reasons, and must have alwaysauthreject=yes set in |
| | sip.conf. Asterisk 1.8 defaults to alwaysauthreject=yes. |
| | |
| | IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that users of Asterisk 1.4 |
| | and 1.6.2 set alwaysauthreject=yes in the general section |
| | of sip.conf. |
