CVE Name Pending
Description Many modules in Asterisk that service incoming IP traffic
have ACL options ("permit" and "deny") that
can be used to
whitelist or blacklist address ranges. A bug has been
discovered where the address family of incoming packets is
only compared to the IP address family of the first entry
in the list of access control rules. If the source IP
address for an incoming packet is not of the same address
family as the first ACL entry, that packet bypasses all ACL
rules. For ACLs whose rules are all of the same address
family, there is no issue.
Note that while the incoming packet may bypass ACL rules,
the packet is still subject to any authentication
requirements that the specific protocol employs.
This issue affects the following parts of Asterisk
* All VoIP channel drivers
* DUNDi
* Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI)
Resolution The ACL code has been amended to compare the incoming
packet's source address family against the address families
for all rules.
