Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2012-008 Product Asterisk Summary Skinny Channel Driver Remote Crash Vulnerability Nature of Advisory Denial of Service Susceptibility Remote authenticated sessions Severity Minor Exploits Known No Reported On May 22, 2012 Reported By Christoph Hebeisen Posted On May 29, 2012 Last Updated On May 29, 2012 Advisory Contact Matt Jordan < mjordan AT digium DOT com > CVE Name CVE-2012-2948 Description As reported by Telus Labs: "A Null-pointer dereference has been identified in the SCCP (Skinny) channel driver of Asterisk. When an SCCP client closes its connection to the server, a pointer in a structure is set to Null. If the client was not in the on-hook state at the time the connection was closed, this pointer is later dereferenced. A remote attacker with a valid SCCP ID can can use this vulnerability by closing a connection to the Asterisk server in certain call states (e.g. "Off hook") to crash the server. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would result in termination of the server, causing denial of service to legitimate users." Resolution The pointer to the device in the structure is now checked before it is dereferenced in the channel event callbacks and message handling functions.
