Asterisk Project Security Advisory - The Asterisk IAX2 channel driver, chan_iax2, has a remotely exploitable crash vulnerability. A NULL pointer exception can occur when Asterisk receives a LAGRQ or LAGRP frame that is part of a valid session and includes information elements. The session used to exploit this issue does not have to be authenticated. It can simply be a NEW packet sent with an invalid username. The code that parses the incoming frame correctly parses the information elements of IAX frames. It then sets a pointer to NULL to indicate that there is not a raw data payload associated with this frame. However, it does not set the variable that indicates the number of bytes in the raw payload back to zero. Since the raw data length is non-zero, the code handling LAGRQ and LAGRP frames tries to copy data from a NULL pointer, causing a crash.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | The Asterisk IAX2 channel driver, chan_iax2, has a |
| | remotely exploitable crash vulnerability. A NULL pointer |
| | exception can occur when Asterisk receives a LAGRQ or |
| | LAGRP frame that is part of a valid session and includes |
| | information elements. The session used to exploit this |
| | issue does not have to be authenticated. It can simply |
| | be a NEW packet sent with an invalid username. |
| | |
| | The code that parses the incoming frame correctly parses |
| | the information elements of IAX frames. It then sets a |
| | pointer to NULL to indicate that there is not a raw data |
| | payload associated with this frame. However, it does not |
| | set the variable that indicates the number of bytes in |
| | the raw payload back to zero. Since the raw data length |
| | is non-zero, the code handling LAGRQ and LAGRP frames |
| | tries to copy data from a NULL pointer, causing a crash. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | All users that have chan_iax2 enabled should upgrade to |
| | the appropriate version listed in the corrected in |
| | section of this advisory. |
