Asterisk 13.19.2, 14.7.6, 15.2.2 and 13.18-cert3 Now Available (Security)

["Asterisk Development Team" <asteriskteam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Asterisk Development Team would like to announce security releases for
Asterisk 13, 14 and 15, and Certified Asterisk 13.18. The available releases are
released as versions 13.19.2, 14.7.6, 15.2.2 and 13.18-cert3.

These releases are available for immediate download at

https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases

The following security vulnerabilities were resolved in these versions:

• AST-2018-001: Crash when receiving unnegotiated dynamic payload
  The RTP support in Asterisk maintains its own registry of dynamic codecs and
  desired payload numbers. While an SDP negotiation may result in a codec using
  a different payload number these desired ones are still stored internally.
  When an RTP packet was received this registry would be consulted if the
  payload number was not found in the negotiated SDP. This registry was
  incorrectly consulted for all packets, even those which are dynamic. If the
  payload number resulted in a codec of a different type than the RTP stream
  (for example the payload number resulted in a video codec but the stream
  carried audio) a crash could occur if no stream of that type had been
  negotiated. This was due to the code incorrectly assuming that a stream of the
  type would always exist.
  


• AST-2018-002: Crash when given an invalid SDP media format description
  By crafting an SDP message with an invalid media format description Asterisk
  crashes when using the pjsip channel driver because pjproject's sdp parsing
  algorithm fails to catch the invalid media format description.
  


• AST-2018-003: Crash with an invalid SDP fmtp attribute
  By crafting an SDP message body with an invalid fmtp attribute Asterisk
  crashes when using the pjsip channel driver because pjproject's fmtp retrieval
  function fails to check if fmtp value is empty (set empty if previously parsed
  as invalid).
  


• AST-2018-004: Crash when receiving SUBSCRIBE request
  When processing a SUBSCRIBE request the res_pjsip_pubsub module stores the
  accepted formats present in the Accept headers of the request. This code did
  not limit the number of headers it processed despite having a fixed limit of
  32. If more than 32 Accept headers were present the code would write outside
  of its memory and cause a crash.
  


• AST-2018-005: Crash when large numbers of TCP connections are closed suddenly
  A crash occurs when a number of authenticated INVITE messages are sent over
  TCP or TLS and then the connection is suddenly closed. This issue leads to a
  segmentation fault.
  


• AST-2018-006: WebSocket frames with 0 sized payload causes DoS
  When reading a websocket, the length was not being checked. If a payload of
  length 0 was read, it would result in a busy loop that waited for the
  underlying connection to close.
