CVE Name CVE-2011-0495
Description When forming an outgoing SIP request while in pedantic mode, a
stack buffer can be made to overflow if supplied with
carefully crafted caller ID information. This vulnerability
also affects the URIENCODE dialplan function and in some
versions of asterisk, the AGI dialplan application as well.
The ast_uri_encode function does not properly respect the size
of its output buffer and can write past the end of it when
encoding URIs.
Resolution The size of the output buffer passed to the ast_uri_encode
function is now properly respected.
In asterisk versions not containing the fix for this issue,
limiting strings originating from remote sources that will be
URI encoded to a length of 40 characters will protect against
this vulnerability.
exten => s,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CALLERID(num):0:40})
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name):0:40})
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/channel)
The CALLERID(num) and CALLERID(name) channel values, and any
strings passed to the URIENCODE dialplan function should be
limited in this manner.
