Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.142857
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Asterisk Audio Transcoding DoS Vulnerability (AST-2019-005)
Summary:Asterisk is prone to a denial of service vulnerability in audio; transcoding.
Description:Summary:
Asterisk is prone to a denial of service vulnerability in audio
transcoding.

Vulnerability Insight:
This issue presented itself when an RTP packet containing no
audio (and thus no samples) was received. In a particular transcoding scenario this audio frame
would get turned into a frame with no origin information. If this new frame was then given to the
audio transcoding support a crash would occur as no samples and no origin information would be
present. The transcoding scenario requires the 'genericplc' option to be set to enabled (the
default) and a transcoding path from the source format into signed linear and then from signed
linear into another format.

Affected Software/OS:
Asterisk Open Source 13.28.0 and 16.5.0.

Solution:
Update to version 13.28.1, 16.5.1 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
