| CVE Name | CVE-2008-1897 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | Javantea originally reported an issue in IAX2, whereby |
| | an attacker could send a spoofed IAX2 NEW message, and |
| | Asterisk would start sending early audio to the target |
| | address, without ever receiving an initial response. |
| | That original vulnerability was addressed in June 2007, |
| | by requiring a response to the initial NEW message |
| | before starting to send any audio. |
| | |
| | Javantea subsequently found that we were doing |
| | insufficent verification of the ACK response and that |
| | the ACK response could be spoofed, just like the initial |
| | NEW message. We have addressed this failure with two |
| | changes. First, we have started to require that the ACK |
| | response contains the unique source call number that we |
| | send in our reply to the NEW message. Any ACK response |
| | that does not contain the source call number that we |
| | have created will be silently thrown away. Second, we |
| | have made the generation of our source call number a |
| | little more difficult to predict, by randomly selecting |
| | a source call number, instead of allocating them |
| | sequentially. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Workaround | Disable remote unauthenticated IAX2 sessions, by |
| | disallowing guest access. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | Upgrade your Asterisk installation to revision 114561 or |
| | later, or install one of the releases shown below. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Commentary | We would like to thank Javantea for notifying us of this |
| | problem; however, we note that he posted exploit code |
| | prior to that notification, which is considered |
| | irresponsible behavior in the whitehat security industry. |
| | In the future, advance notice of any such release would |
| | be appreciated. |
