CVE Name CVE-2018-17281
Description There is a stack overflow vulnerability in the
res_http_websocket.so module of Asterisk that allows an
attacker to crash Asterisk via a specially crafted HTTP
request to upgrade the connection to a websocket. The
attacker’s request causes Asterisk to run out of stack
space and crash.
Resolution Disable HTTP websocket access by not loading the
res_http_websocket.so module or upgrade Asterisk to a fixed
version.
