Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2014-012 Product Asterisk Summary Mixed IP address families in access control lists may permit unwanted traffic. Nature of Advisory Unauthorized Access Susceptibility Remote unauthenticated sessions Severity Moderate Exploits Known No Reported On 25 October, 2014 Reported By Andreas Steinmetz Posted On 20 November, 2014 Last Updated On November 20, 2014 Advisory Contact Mark Michelson <mmichelson AT digium DOT com> 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.
