CVE Name CVE-2019-18790
Description A SIP request can be sent to Asterisk that can change
a SIP peerâ??s IP address. A REGISTER does not need to
occur, and calls can be hijacked as a result. The only
thing that needs to be known is the peerâ??s name;
authentication details such as passwords do not need
to be known. This vulnerability is only exploitable
when the â??natâ?? option is set to the default, or
â??auto_force_rportâ??.
Modules Affected channels/chan_sip.c
Resolution Using any other option value for â??natâ?? will prevent the
attack (such as â??nat=noâ?? or â??nat=force_rportâ??), but will
need to be tested on an individual basis to ensure that it
works for the userâ??s deployment. On the fixed versions of
Asterisk, it will no longer set the address of the peer
before authentication is successful when a SIP request comes
in.
