         CVE Name       CVE-2019-13161                                        

    Description  When T.38 faxing is done in Asterisk a T.38 reinvite may be  
                 sent to an endpoint to switch it to T.38. If the endpoint    
                 responds with an improperly formatted SDP answer including   
                 both a T.38 UDPTL stream and an audio or video stream        
                 containing only codecs not allowed on the SIP peer or user   
                 a crash will occur. The code incorrectly assumes that there  
                 will be at least one common codec when T.38 is also in the   
                 SDP answer.                                                  
                                                                              
                 This requires Asterisk to initiate a T.38 reinvite which is  
                 only done when executing the ReceiveFax dialplan             
                 application or performing T.38 passthrough where a remote    
                 endpoint has requested T.38.                                 
                                                                              
                 For versions of Asterisk 13 before 13.21.0 and Asterisk 15   
                 before 15.4.0 the â??preferred_codec_onlyâ?? option must also    
                 be set to â??yesâ??. If set to â??noâ?? the crash will not occur.    

    Resolution  If T.38 faxing is not required this functionality can be      
                disabled by ensuring the â??t38pt_udptlâ?? is set to â??noâ?? so a    
                T.38 reinvite is not possible.                                
                                                                              
                If T.38 faxing is required then Asterisk should be upgraded   
                to a fixed version. The problem can also be limited in scope  
                by enabling T.38 faxing only for endpoints which actually     
                participate in fax.
