Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2008-011 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Product | Asterisk | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Summary | Traffic amplification in IAX2 firmware | | | provisioning system | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Nature of Advisory | Traffic amplification attack | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Susceptibility | Remote unauthenticated sessions | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Severity | Critical | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Exploits Known | No | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Reported On | July 18, 2008 | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Reported By | Tilghman Lesher < tlesher AT digium DOT com > | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Posted On | July 22, 2008 | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Last Updated On | July 22, 2008 | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | Advisory Contact | Tilghman Lesher < tlesher AT digium DOT com > | |--------------------+---------------------------------------------------| | CVE Name | CVE-2008-3264 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Description | An attacker may request an Asterisk server to send part | | | of a firmware image. However, as this firmware download | | | protocol does not initiate a handshake, the source | | | address may be spoofed. Therefore, an IAX2 FWDOWNL | | | request for a firmware file may consume as little as 40 | | | bytes, yet produces a 1040 byte response. Coupled with | | | multiple geographically diverse Asterisk servers, an | | | attacker may flood an victim site with unwanted firmware | | | packets. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Workaround | The only device which used this firmware upgrade | | | procedure was the IAXy ATA device, and the last firmware | | | upgrade was more than 18 months ago. It is unlikely that | | | any IAXy devices in use today still need the last | | | firmware upgrade. Therefore, deleting the firmware image | | | from the directory where it is served from and sending a | | | reload event to the Asterisk server is sufficient to | | | purge the firmware image from the Asterisk server's | | | memory. An Asterisk server which is unable to serve out | | | the requested firmware image will reply to any such | | | request with a much smaller REJECT packet, which is | | | smaller than even the FWDOWNL packet. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Resolution | This firmware download procedure has been disabled by | | | default in Asterisk. If you should still need to upgrade | | | IAXys in the field, there is an option 'allowfwdownload' | | | which can be enabled. However, due to the reasons | | | specified on the Workaround section, it is recommended | | | that you leave this option disabled and enable it only on | | | secure internal networks when an IAXy is initially | | | provisioned. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Affected Versions | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Product | Release | | | | Series | | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Open Source | 1.0.x | All versions | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Open Source | 1.2.x | All versions prior to | | | | 1.2.30 | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Open Source | 1.4.x | All versions prior to | | | | 1.4.21.2 | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Addons | 1.2.x | Not affected | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Addons | 1.4.x | Not affected | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Business Edition | A.x.x | All versions | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Business Edition | B.x.x | All versions prior to | | | | B.2.5.4 | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Business Edition | C.x.x | All versions prior to | | | | C.1.10.3 | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | AsteriskNOW | pre-release | All versions | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | Asterisk Appliance Developer Kit | 0.x.x | All versions | |----------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------| | s800i (Asterisk Appliance) | 1.0.x | All versions prior to | | | | 1.2.0.1 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Corrected In | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Product | Release | |---------------------------------------------+--------------------------| | Asterisk Open Source | 1.2.30 | |---------------------------------------------+--------------------------| | Asterisk Open Source | 1.4.21.2 | |---------------------------------------------+--------------------------| | Asterisk Business Edition | B.2.5.4 | |---------------------------------------------+--------------------------| | Asterisk Business Edition | C.1.10.3 | |---------------------------------------------+--------------------------| | Asterisk Business Edition | C.2.0.3 | |---------------------------------------------+--------------------------| | s800i (Asterisk Appliance) | 1.2.0.1 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Links | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Asterisk Project Security Advisories are posted at | | http://www.asterisk.org/security | | | | This document may be superseded by later versions; if so, the latest | | version will be posted at | | http://downloads.digium.com/pub/security/AST-2008-011.pdf and | | http://downloads.digium.com/pub/security/AST-2008-011.html | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Revision History | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Date | Editor | Revisions Made | |-----------------+--------------------+---------------------------------| | July 22, 2008 | Tilghman Lesher | Initial release | |-----------------+--------------------+---------------------------------| | July 22, 2008 | Tilghman Lesher | Revised C.1 version numbers | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2008-011 Copyright (c) 2008 Digium, Inc.
