| CVE Name | CVE-2007-3763 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | The Asterisk IAX2 channel driver, chan_iax2, has a |
| | remotely exploitable crash vulnerability. A NULL pointer |
| | exception can occur when Asterisk receives a LAGRQ or |
| | LAGRP frame that is part of a valid session and includes |
| | information elements. The session used to exploit this |
| | issue does not have to be authenticated. It can simply |
| | be a NEW packet sent with an invalid username. |
| | |
| | The code that parses the incoming frame correctly parses |
| | the information elements of IAX frames. It then sets a |
| | pointer to NULL to indicate that there is not a raw data |
| | payload associated with this frame. However, it does not |
| | set the variable that indicates the number of bytes in |
| | the raw payload back to zero. Since the raw data length |
| | is non-zero, the code handling LAGRQ and LAGRP frames |
| | tries to copy data from a NULL pointer, causing a crash. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | All users that have chan_iax2 enabled should upgrade to |
| | the appropriate version listed in the corrected in |
| | section of this advisory. |
