| CVE Name | CVE-2008-1289 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | Two buffer overflows exist in the RTP payload handling |
| | code of Asterisk. Both overflows can be caused by an |
| | INVITE or any other SIP packet with SDP. The request may |
| | need to be authenticated depending on configuration of |
| | the Asterisk installation. |
| | |
| | The first overflow is caused by sending a payload number |
| | that surpasses the programmed maximum payload number of |
| | 256. This causes an invalid memory write outside of the |
| | buffer. While this does not allow the attacker to write |
| | arbitrary data it does allow the attacker to write a 0 |
| | to other memory locations. |
| | |
| | The second overflow is caused by sending more than 32 |
| | RTP payloads. This causes a buffer on the stack to |
| | overflow allowing the attacker to write values between 0 |
| | and 256 (the maximum payload number) to memory locations |
| | after the buffer. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | Two fixes have been added to check the provided data to |
| | ensure it does not exceed static buffer sizes. |
| | |
| | When removing internal information regarding an RTP |
| | payload the given payload number will now be checked to |
| | make sure it does not exceed the maximum acceptable |
| | payload number. |
| | |
| | When reading RTP payloads from SDP a maximum limit of 32 |
| | in total will be enforced. Any further RTP payloads will |
| | be discarded. |
