Multiple Unauthenticated Stack Overflows in Asterisk

Via SecuriTeam -

Two closely related stack based buffer overflows exist in the SIP/SDP handler of Asterisk, the vulnerabilities are very similar but exist as two separate unsafe function calls. The T38FaxRateManagement and T38FaxUdpEC SDP parameters can be exploited remotely leading to arbitrary code execution without authentication. In order for these overflows to occur, t38 fax over SIP must be enabled in sip.conf.

Examples of SIP INVITE packets are shown in the details section, however these vulnerabilities can be triggered with a number of different SIP messages affecting calls received by Asterisk, or in response to calls made by Asterisk.
