Title:Asterisk CDR Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (AST-2017-010)
Summary:Asterisk is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in CDR's; set user.
Description:Summary:
Asterisk is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in CDR's
set user.

Vulnerability Insight:
No size checking is done when setting the user field for Party B
on a CDR. Thus, it is possible for someone to use an arbitrarily large string and write past the
end of the user field storage buffer.

This currently affects any system using CDR's that also make use of the following:

- The 'X-ClientCode' header within a SIP INFO message when using chan_sip and the 'useclientcode'
option is enabled (note, it's disabled by default).

- The CDR dialplan function executed from AMI when setting the user field.

- The AMI Monitor action when using a long file name/path.

Affected Software/OS:
Asterisk Open Source 13.x, 14.x, 15.x and Certified Asterisk
13.13.

Solution:
Update to version 13.18.1, 14.7.1, 15.1.1, 13.13-cert7 or
later.

CVSS Score:
6.5
