Summary

An issue was discovered in chan_skinny.c in Asterisk Open Source 13.18.2 and older, 14.7.2 and older, and 15.1.2 and older, and Certified Asterisk 13.13-cert7 and older. If the chan_skinny (aka SCCP protocol) channel driver is flooded with certain requests, it can cause the asterisk process to use excessive amounts of virtual memory, eventually causing asterisk to stop processing requests of any kind.

    descriptionA vulnerability has been discovered in Asterisk, an open source PBX and telephony toolkit, which may result in resource exhaustion and denial of service. CVE-2017-17090: memory leak from chan_skinny. If the chan_skinny (AKA SCCP protocol) channel driver is flooded with certain requests it can cause the asterisk process to use excessive amounts of virtual memory eventually causing asterisk to stop processing requests of any kind. The chan_skinny driver has been updated to release memory allocations in a correct manner thereby preventing any possiblity of exhaustion. For Debian 7
