HIGH Summary
An Integer Signedness issue (for a return code) in the res_pjsip_sdp_rtp module in Digium Asterisk versions 15.7.1 and earlier and 16.1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to crash Asterisk via a specially crafted SDP protocol violation.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Forced Integer Overflow This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.
