[asterisk-users] Asterisk 13.13-cert4, 13.15.1, 14.4.1 Now Available (Security Release)
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Certified Asterisk 13.13 and Asterisk 13 and 14. The available security releases are released as versions 13.13-cert4, 13.15.1, and 14.4.1. These releases are available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases The release of these versions resolves the following security vulnerabilities: * AST-2017-002: A remote crash can be triggered by sending a SIP packet to Asterisk with a specially crafted CSeq header and a Via header with no branch parameter. The issue is that the PJSIP RFC 2543 transaction key generation algorithm does not allocate a large enough buffer. By overrunning the buffer, the memory allocation table becomes corrupted, leading to an eventual crash. * AST-2017-003: The multi-part body parser in PJSIP contains a logical error that can make certain multi-part body parts attempt to read memory from outside the allowed boundaries. A specially-crafted packet can trigger these invalid reads and potentially induce a crash. * AST-2017-004: A remote memory exhaustion can be triggered by sending an SCCP packet to Asterisk system with ?chan_skinny? enabled that is larger than the length of the SCCP header but smaller than the packet length specified in the header. The loop that reads the rest of the packet doesn?t detect that the call to read() returned end-of-file before the expected number of bytes and continues infinitely. The ?partial data? message logging in that tight loop causes Asterisk to exhaust all available memory. Special note: AST-2017-002 and AST-2017-003 actually apply to the pjproject library directly and not necessarily Asterisk, so systems utilizing non-bundled versions of pjproject will need to get the fixes from an upstream version of the library.
