CVE Name
Description 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.
This issue is in PJSIP, and so the issue can be fixed
without performing an upgrade of Asterisk at all. However,
we are releasing a new version of Asterisk with the bundled
PJProject updated to include the fix.
If you are running Asterisk with chan_sip, this issue does
not affect you.
Resolution A patch created by the Asterisk team has been submitted and
accepted by the PJProject maintainers.
