CVE Name CVE-2013-2685
Description The format attribute resource for h264 video performs an
unsafe read against a media attribute when parsing the SDP.
The vulnerable parameter can be received as strings of an
arbitrary length and Asterisk attempts to read them into
limited buffer spaces without applying a limit to the
number of characters read. If a message is formed
improperly, this could lead to an attacker being able to
execute arbitrary code remotely.
Resolution Attempts to read string data into the buffers noted are now
explicitly limited by the size of the buffers.
